Vault Learning System

Exploration Software

In active daily use. A written explainer post is planned.

Retaining technical knowledge well enough to actually use it under pressure — a real interview, a real debugging session — takes structured repetition and honest feedback, not passive reading. Existing tools solve pieces of this (Anki handles repetition, LeetCode handles practice problems) but nothing combines a conversational, evaluative review session with a local, markdown-first workflow.

The vault stores a structured question bank spanning JavaScript, Node.js, React, C#/.NET, AWS, Docker, and core CS fundamentals — each question carrying its own rubric and follow-ups, not just a flashcard’s front and back. A daily session selects a handful of questions using spaced-repetition scheduling, runs through them one at a time with scored feedback against the rubric, and updates each question’s review schedule based on how it went. Weak spots get surfaced for deeper follow-up after the session, and results are logged automatically so retention is trackable over time, not just felt.

It’s a personal tool, not a product — built and used daily as an actual study system, not a portfolio piece.
