An exciting aspect of what I'm working on is that users can create their own playlists. For example, you can provide an outline of what you're learning, such as notes from your professor or any other structure, and the pipeline will create a course tailored to that. Since the content is highly customized, it will be relevant and high-quality, matching current lessons or lectures in school or university.<p>Initially, the pipeline also generated some teaching content using AI, but due to the risk of AI hallucinations, I'm planning to pivot away from that. The new focus will be on curating YouTube videos relevant to each subject, so the courses will consist entirely of expert-created content from YouTube. This approach avoids copyright issues entirely.<p>I'm still in the process of updating the code to implement these changes. The reason I'm posting this is to get feedback on how it sounds to you as learner. I'd love to hear your thoughts, does this solve a problem for you, would you be likely to use it if it just works ?<p>I'm trying to find a product structure that users will find valuable and effective.<p>The web app is completely free to use right now as I figure out the best model.<p>Thanks!
This looks promising!<p>For anyone trying it out, it seems like the UX is a lot different when you're logged in. From what I could tell, the basic idea is you can create a new "course" based on a description of what you'd like to learn, then Coursely builds a custom playlist and course tracker for you.<p>A few feature requests & thoughts...<p>It would be super useful if I could give Coursely an existing video or playlist and then have it build out additional topics and videos into the generated course. The ability to add videos into lessons would also be useful (or maybe I missed in the UI?).<p>A welcome / instructions video is probably needed to help guide users through the UI. But overall, I really like the concept of what you're building.
I would get rid of the silly AI generated images for each course. I would make the page much more information dense rather than these huge bubbles (this might be only on the mobile site)

Incredible to see this posted today, as I was just in a long discussion yesterday about the future of AI in education. It's a neat concept but I think you're spreading yourself too thin on content, especially given the number of courses on the site. It might be better to focus on building out a core set of lessons for a targeted group of learners first. At the end of the day, even if you're using AI to generate the content, a human being needs to do the proofreading and quality assurance.<p>The design also has ample room for improvement - it's a bit hard to navigate the site and stay engaged with the content at the moment.
Are there any pages on your site that describe what you've written here? At first glance I'm not really seeing anything more than a catalog of topics, with no additional information as to what uniquely valuable.<p>This is a common pattern I see, where someone builds a great app but saves the proper explanation for HN. Often you could literally copy your HN description to /about to improve things immensely.
I really like the idea of this. A bit more information about how the site actually works would be useful, perhaps within that modal that is presented when you land on the page. There's a lot of context that I have from visiting through HN so it's not terribly confusing to me, but to a random person they'd have no idea what's going on.
As an impatient user, I pressed a random course (Physics), continued as Guest, then when I was told to accept a ToS and privacy policy, I just left. Too much effort to read the ToS...
