What I learned building my website

A while ago, I decided to stop waiting for the “perfect” study app and just build one myself. That project turned into Studex AI, an AI-powered studying website made for students who want a simpler way to stay organized and actually understand what they’re learning.

This post isn’t a launch announcement — it’s about what I’ve learned so far building it.

The problem I noticed

Most study tools fall into one of two categories:

Too simple (just a checklist or notes app)

Too complicated (feature overload, confusing UI)

As a student, I wanted something that:

Helps me study efficiently

Doesn’t feel overwhelming

Uses AI in a way that’s actually useful

That gap is what pushed me to start Studex AI.

Building something people might actually use

One of the hardest parts hasn’t been coding — it’s deciding what not to add.

Every feature sounds cool in theory, but if it doesn’t:

Save time

Reduce stress

Or make studying clearer

…it probably doesn’t belong.
