monsieurpng··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
Working on LearnMathsToday – think Duolingo but for maths. It's an AI-powered app that marks your handwritten solutions step-by-step (not just the final answer), so students actually learn the process.

We're focused on Singapore's O-Level maths curriculum right now, with adaptive learning paths and photo-based problem solving. Also running a YouTube channel with free lessons that's crossed 150K views.

The goal is to make structured, curriculum-aligned maths practice as habit-forming and accessible as Duolingo made language learning.

monsieurpng··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (July 2025)
I’m working on LearnMathsToday, a mobile app that helps students learn math in a fun and engaging way. It’s self-paced, with AI-generated questions that adapt to each student’s level. One unique feature is AI-powered marking, which gives instant feedback on written answers. I’ve also added gamification—points, levels, and a storyline—to keep students motivated. Right now, the app is based on the Singapore syllabus, since I’m based in Singapore.

thanks for sharing!
monsieurpng··on Big Tech Coding Interview Framework – Pt 1. Inspect
Totally agreed with you, but I don't even understand why people can't understand your point. It's obvious enough. Taking leetcode for interview is like memorizing all english vocabulary needed for SAT/GRE. Taking CS course in university is like learning how to write an essay properly.

Asking engineers to take leetcode for exams is like asking journalists to take the SAT exam. Obviously they will need to study a few months for such things.
