Motivation
Learning complex topics has always been a challenge for me. While ChatGPT/Claude made it easier to ask questions and explore subtopics, I found myself losing sight of the original problem. I often created new chats for every subtopic creating more confusion.
Introducing Topic Breakdown
Link: topic-breakdown
As a personal pet project, I created Topic Breakdown (fully open-source tool) to visually breakdown complex topics into simpler subtopics. It has helped track my progress and organize my learning journey.
Useful features
- Recursively breakdown any topic in a swift graph based UI
- Hide any sub-path already explored to de-clutter your learning
- Localized chat: Chat on any specific subtopic remains localized to that subtopic making it easy to organize information and in-depth analysis.
How It Can Help You
Whether you're learning a new technology, diving into a complex field, or just exploring something new, Topic Breakdown can help you:
- Stay organized.
- Track your progress.
- Learn by building concepts from first principles

This project is still in its early stages, focusing on core functionality. Leave your suggestions or ideas in the comments below.
If there's enough traction and interest, I might develop it into a more comprehensive tool. For now, I hope it helps you in your learning journey as much as it has helped me!
