Who created HeyOctopus?

HeyOctopus was founded on April 8, 2023, with a clear mission: to make knowledge more accessible and improve how we learn by adding a “meta layer” to the internet. The idea is to let you document your learning activities, combine useful learning materials, and then share them with the community. The founders wanted to build a network of learning content that helps optimize the order in which you learn things.

As a user, you can interact with the learning content, keep track of your progress, and ask questions to deepen your understanding.
