Hi JD! I’m looking forward to the nuanced policy discussions that your presence here will inspire 👋

People think we created Mentava as an attempt to subvert public education, but it's really an attempt to save it.

As parents demand actual academics for their kids, schools will either need to provide it with rigorous software like Mentava, or families will go somewhere else

Yeah, that’s why we made Mentava. But software is a lot harder to make and maintain than a book is, so we have to charge for the software

Hmm I’m so sorry. We’ve had occasional outages in the past, were you able to get it to work?

I wish there were a way for us to play the audio on each page but it would be so expensive

the brief utopian period before Eternal September

Interesting. This makes sense if you believe there are weaker (solo) engineers who will outperform stronger (solo) engineers when both engineers have access to AI

Amazon link is here (a.co/d/3KexYS9), or go to www.mentava.com to download a free pdf version.

It's 149 pages, be prepared 😀

To tell if a child is developmentally ready to begin reading, we use emojis to see if they can understand left-to-right reading order.

If they can't tell the difference between 🐶🐟 (dogfish) and 🐟🐶 (fishdog), then they won't be able to understand the difference between "am" and "ma"

This is our 149-page Alphabet Sounds book, which recently became Amazon's top new Children's Reading book.

We've now sold over 700 copies, making a profit of $0 (we sell the book at cost and give a pdf version away for free on our website)

Super proud of the team for putting this together!
