Study Material

Daily Dose

One engineering fact, formula or Question of the Day, every day.

One thing a day, not a feed

Most study apps hand you an endless scroll and call it learning. This is the opposite: one item a day — an engineering fact, a key formula, or a Question of the Day — and then it is done. There is nothing to scroll past, which is the point.

It is small on purpose. A single fact you can read in the queue for the college bus is something you will genuinely do daily; a twenty-minute module is something you will do twice and then stop.

Matched to your branch

Doses carry a branch tag and yours is matched against it, so a mechanical student is not being told about semiconductor doping. Content tagged for no branch in particular is treated as common and reaches every student, which is how the general engineering facts arrive without being duplicated once per branch.

The notification is a teaser, and it knows it

The reminder shows you enough to decide whether you care, and a Question of the Day arrives with its answer withheld. The answer is revealed in the app, deliberately — a question you have already read the answer to is no longer a question.

If you leave a notification unread overnight, tapping it the next morning opens the dose it actually advertised instead of quietly swapping in today's. And when that dose is gone — retired, or the local copy cleared — the app says it is showing today's rather than pretending nothing changed.

A dose stays put while you read it

Refreshing happens in the background, and a new pool of content only changes what is on screen if the item you were shown has actually changed. You do not lose your place halfway through a fact because the app quietly pulled down an update behind you.

It opens without a connection

The pool of doses is cached on the phone, and the screen renders from that cache before anything is fetched. So it opens in a lift, on a train, or in a classroom with no signal, and refreshes in the background when it can.

Where it fits

The Daily Dose is the smallest thing in the app and the only part designed to take under a minute. It sits alongside the formula library, which is where you go when one of those formulas turns out to matter.

Three kinds of content in rotation, so it never feels like the same thing twice: Did You Know, Formula of the Day, and a Question of the Day whose answer stays hidden until you tap. It is matched to your branch, saved on your phone so it opens offline, and can be updated without an app release.

Daily Dose: common questions

What is the Daily Dose?
One item a day — an engineering fact, a key formula, or a Question of the Day. It is deliberately a single item rather than a feed, so it takes under a minute and does not compete with the rest of your study time.
Why does the notification not show the answer to the Question of the Day?
On purpose. The reminder gives you enough to decide whether the question interests you, and the answer is revealed inside the app. A question you have already read the answer to is not really a question any more.
What happens if I tap yesterday's Daily Dose notification today?
It opens the dose the notification actually advertised rather than silently swapping in today's. If that dose is no longer available — it was retired, or the local copy was cleared — the app tells you it is showing today's instead.
Does the Daily Dose work offline?
Yes. The pool of doses is cached on your phone and the screen renders from that cache before anything is fetched, then refreshes in the background. It opens on a train, or in a classroom with no signal.
