Getting started

What is sned?

SNED stands for Something New Every Day. You give it one topic — “beekeeping,” “personal finance,” “the Roman Empire” — and it builds a 28-day plan, then emails you one lesson every morning. Each lesson takes about five minutes to read. That’s the whole product.

How a course works

  1. Pick a topic. Medium-broad works best — “photography” rather than “the histogram panel in Lightroom.”
  2. Tell us about you. A sentence or two of context (age, situation, why you’re curious) and how much you already know. Lessons are written for you, not for a generic reader.
  3. Get a plan. sned drafts a 28-day outline: what you’ll cover, in what order, with recap days at the end of each week. If it misses the mark, you can regenerate it with a note — up to twice.
  4. Read one lesson a day. It lands in your inbox each morning. Five minutes, then get on with your day.

You have one active course at a time. When day 28 arrives, pick the next topic.

What lessons look like

Each lesson is a focused read on one idea — plain language, concrete examples, no filler. Lessons are generated one day ahead, not all upfront, so the feedback you give along the way actually changes what tomorrow’s lesson looks like. See shaping your lessons.

sned is free. You bring your own OpenRouter API key and pay only for the model usage your lessons generate — typically pennies per course. See connecting your OpenRouter key.
