PathForge

PathForge is a web and mobile app that helps self-directed learners turn fuzzy ambitions like “learn data science” into brutally clear, executable learning roadmaps. Instead of dumping you into a sea of courses, it forces you to define outcomes, constraints (time, money, energy), and deadlines, then auto-generates a prioritized, step-by-step plan from curated resources across the web. The app uses AI to break complex skills into milestones, assign realistic weekly workloads, and ruthlessly cut non-essential content. It tracks progress at the level of tasks, quizzes, and projects, and constantly re-plans when you fall behind instead of pretending everything is fine. You’ll get weekly “reality checks” showing whether your goals are delusional given your actual behavior. PathForge doesn’t try to be motivational fluff; it’s a cold, practical system that tells you what to do next, what to drop, and when you’re lying to yourself about your commitment.
