NoodleOS: The Learning System Built for Your Brain
Hey there,
I want to tell you about something I've been building that might finally solve that learning problem you keep running into.
You know the one I'm talking about.
You find something new you want to learn. You're excited. Motivated. Ready to go. So you dive in – YouTube videos, online courses, books, random Google searches, maybe even some AI prompts.
And then... the familiar pattern starts.
The excitement fades. Progress stalls. You're drowning in information but not actually learning. One tutorial contradicts another. The experts forget what it's like to be a beginner. And you end up with a bunch of scattered knowledge that doesn't quite fit together.
Trust me, I've been there too. Many times.
That's why I built NoodleOS.
What is NoodleOS?
NoodleOS is a personalized learning system built in Obsidian that helps you discover exactly how your brain works best for any topic you're trying to learn.
It's not another course. It's not another "one-size-fits-all" learning approach.
It's an operating system for your brain that:
- Identifies your unique learning style through a conversational diagnostic
- Creates customized learning paths that match how you naturally think
- Uses AI tools (like Claude) in a structured way to build actual knowledge
- Tracks your progress through implementable milestones
- Helps you connect new knowledge to what you already know
- Balances structure and freedom based on your personal preferences
I built this because I was tired of starting over with every new thing I wanted to learn. I needed a system that worked with my brain instead of against it.
How It Works
When you use NoodleOS, here's what happens:
- You'll start with a diagnostic process that feels like a conversation, not a quiz. It uncovers how you naturally learn best.
- Based on your results, NoodleOS generates a personalized learning framework in Obsidian – with templates, prompts, and exercises specifically tailored to your learning style.
- You'll get customized AI prompt templates that help you extract knowledge in ways that actually stick for your brain.
- The system helps you track your progress with checkboxes, Kanban boards, and milestone tracking.
- Most importantly, you'll build connections between what you're learning and what you already know – because that's where real understanding happens.
Who Is This For?
NoodleOS is for self-directed learners who:
- Are tired of one-size-fits-all learning approaches
- Want to use AI tools more effectively for learning
- Need the right balance of structure and freedom
- Value implementation over endless consumption
- Prefer personalized paths over standardized curricula
- Are comfortable using Obsidian (or willing to learn it)
This isn't for passive learners looking for another course to consume. It's a system for people who want to take control of their learning process.
Why This Works When Other Approaches Don't
Most learning resources are created by experts who've forgotten what it's like to be a beginner. Or they're built around someone else's learning style, not yours.
NoodleOS is different because it starts with you – how your brain works, what motivates you, how you naturally process information.
It's built on five core principles:
- Connection is Creation – Real learning happens when you connect new ideas to existing knowledge
- Action Transforms Knowledge – You don't truly learn until you implement
- Learning is a Personal Journey – Your brain has its own unique wiring
- Growth Requires Both Freedom and Structure – But the balance is different for everyone
- Meaningful Work Serves Others – Learning gains purpose when it benefits more than just you
These aren't just nice-sounding ideas. They're the foundation of a learning system that actually works.
Coming Soon
NoodleOS is currently in development. But when it launches, it will include:
- A template Obsidian vault with the complete NoodleOS framework
- Diagnostic templates to uncover your learning style
- Learning path generators for different knowledge domains
- Custom AI prompt libraries for different learning styles
- Progress tracking systems and implementation frameworks
- Documentation on how to adapt the system to your needs
If you're tired of starting over with every new thing you want to learn, keep an eye out for NoodleOS. It's built for brains like yours.

P.S. Learning shouldn't be so damn hard. With the right system – one that's built around how your brain actually works – you can finally make consistent progress instead of starting over every few weeks. That's what NoodleOS is all about.
