I'm tired of 20min tutorials, so I'm building a "Duolingo for Creators". Thoughts on the MVP?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some honest feedback on a tool I'm building.

I feel like nowadays, whether you run a business or want to build a personal brand, you are "forced" to create content. But the learning curve sucks:

1. You either watch 20-minute YouTube tutorials full of fluff just to learn one basic concept.
2. Or you buy expensive courses that are pure theory and boring as hell.

My idea is simple: Gamify content creation learning.

I'm designing Omnia, a tool for people who want to improve their online presence (Sales, Virality, or Authority) without spending hours studying. The goal is to train your "creator eye" with quick 5-minute daily challenges, so you instinctively know what makes a video work.

Hey, I read this and the premise lands. The problem isn’t that content creation is mandatory, it’s that learning to create good content has been productised into boredom or priced into exclusivity. A tool that tries to build pattern recognition through daily constraints and short challenges is directionally aligned with how the best operators actually learn (in loops, not lectures.) What I’d test early if I were you is whether 5-minute cadence is enough to shift behaviour, and whether the gamification improves output or just engagement. Virality is less about instinct than repetition plus a framework you stop noticing because you’ve internalised it. If you can prove that Omnia trains taste through friction-free repetition, not long videos about repetition, then you have something real. The trap most early tools fall into is teaching the theory of attention instead of training the muscle of noticing attention, so make sure you’re measuring that, not just likes or streaks. If you get that right, the rest is product tuning, not philosophy
