This is a short build-in-public post about Aries AI, an AI abacus tutor I shipped solo. Stack notes, what worked, what didn't, and a link if you want to poke at it.

The product, in one paragraph

Aries AI teaches mental arithmetic through the abacus method. It has four modes: an interactive visual abacus, oral drills (TTS reads a sequence of numbers, user types the running total), structured formula lessons (three families of abacus shortcuts — Big Friends, Small Friends, and Combination formulas), and a conversational AI tutor that re-explains and generates custom practice. Free tier + paid plans.
