Anonymous doubts. Counted.

Half the room has the same question.

Nobody asks it.

Every subject gets its own board. dout lets you ask your professor anonymously, and lets everyone else say ME TOO with one tap. The professor sees what the lecture actually lost, not just who was brave enough to raise a hand.

Live from the feed. Stronger colour = more people lost.

How it works

Ask, with no name attached

Type the thing you did not get. Nothing about you is stored, not even a nickname.

Classmates hit Me too

If they were stuck at the same spot, one tap says so. The tile gets darker. The count is the proof you were never alone.

The professor re-explains

Their dashboard ranks doubts by count, so the next lecture starts where this one lost people.

Why it works

Psychologists call it pluralistic ignorance: each student privately assumes everyone else understood, so the question stays unasked. Anonymity removes the cost of asking. The Me too count removes the illusion that you were the only one.
