It is a natural idea to look for ways to learn things like going through
a skill tree in a computer RPG.

For example I made a
[[https://ypei.me/posts/2015-04-02-juggling-skill-tree.html][DAG for
juggling]].

Websites like [[https://knowen.org][Knowen]] and
[[https://metacademy.org][Metacademy]] explore this idea with added
flavour of open collaboration.

The design of Metacademy looks quite promising. It also has a nice
tagline: "your package manager for knowledge".

There are so so many tools to assist learning / research / knowledge
sharing today, and we should keep experimenting, in the hope that
eventually one of them will scale.

On another note, I often complain about the lack of a place to discuss
math research online, but today I found on Reddit some journal clubs on
machine learning:
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/8aluhs/d_machine_learning_wayr_what_are_you_reading_week/][1]],
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/8elmd8/d_anyone_having_trouble_reading_a_particular/][2]].
If only we had this for maths. On the other hand r/math does have some
interesting recurring threads as well:
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/math/wiki/everythingaboutx][Everything about
X]] and
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/math/search?q=what+are+you+working+on?+author:automoderator+&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&t=all][What
Are You Working On?]]. Hopefully these threads can last for years to
come.
