I am experienced developer and used to follow different blogs, sites and other resources for keeping up with the technology. I always ended up spending more time reading the whole background instead of getting info on the crux of the matter. 

This gave me the idea to a create a community where the core concept /topic is presented as a short of 30 second read called "ideation". An ideation is represented using images and rich text with emphasis and highlights on the relevant parts. The ideations are self contained and concrete in explaining a single topic. Each of them may have links to other ideations that are related. 

The ideations are presented as simple swipe flow that brings up new content each time you swipe. You can also follow a specific subject to see content from that subject only. 

The app currently contains over 250+ solid ideations explaining the topics and core concepts on
- Java

As you can see, the app has coverage on the topics for a full stack developer. 
The app is currently in beta and is free for the first 1000 users.
