Quizzer turns PDFs into quiz courses

Quizzer is an open-source terminal app that turns PDFs into Duolingo-style study courses. It rasterizes each page, feeds the images to a vision-capable LLM, and generates scaffolded question sets with spaced repetition, adaptive difficulty, XP, streaks, and tutor chat.

// ANALYSIS

The interesting part is not just “PDF to quiz,” but the insistence on page images instead of OCR, which should preserve layout-dependent details that text extraction often drops. It’s a strong fit for dense textbooks and manuals, though the terminal-first workflow keeps it squarely in the power-user lane.

  • Rasterizing pages before generation is a real quality move for charts, figures, sidebars, and formatting-heavy material
  • The progression from true/false to free recall gives it an actual learning loop, not just quiz spam
  • SM-2 scheduling plus adaptive difficulty pushes it closer to a study system than a one-shot generator
  • The OpenAI-compatible backend keeps it flexible for local or hosted models
  • Terminal UX will limit mainstream adoption, but it’s a sharp open-source prototype for serious self-study
