I launched a website called the TapUp Digital Glossary!

It’s a glossary that explains all kinds of digital terms in language anyone can understand.

Why I made it

As the AI revolution keeps accelerating digital progress, the gap between people who can keep up and people who can’t tends to widen. To close that gap, ease of learning matters.

People who aren’t very familiar with digital topics. And people who already know their way around but want to learn more. I made this hoping to make it a bit easier for them to broaden their knowledge.

How to use it

Tap any term card that catches your eye, and it’ll expand to show the details.
Inside, each entry has three parts: “The story behind the name → A quick explanation → A closer look.”

Example of a term detail screen. The entry for "AI (Artificial Intelligence)" is broken into three steps: "The story behind the name," "Quick explanation," and "Let's take a closer look!"

You can also filter terms by category, tag, level, or keyword search.

The level shows how niche each term is.
Lv.1 You see it in everyday life
Lv.2 Often comes up in IT topics
Lv.3 Used in hands-on development
Lv.4 Shows up in papers and research

That said, it’s only a rough guide to where each term tends to come up, so even Lv.4 entries are written in plain language.

A few last thoughts

Terms are kind of like labels on drawers. Just labeling an empty drawer and putting a rough idea of the concept inside makes it one of your options. And when you actually need that option, that’s the time to dig in deeper.

There aren’t many terms yet, but I’ll keep adding more, so please give it a try if it sounds useful.
