We&amp;#x27;ve had numerous students master 3-5 years of math in a single year.&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#x27;re still in beta and haven&amp;#x27;t done a proper Show HN yet, but we&amp;#x27;re getting there!&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m the founder, so I&amp;#x27;d be happy to answer any questions.</text></comment>
