When you say “headless, open-source LMS”, I assume this is the <i>backend</i> parts. This does not appear to be the case (nor does the actual link target use the word “headless”).<p><a href="https://developer.thoughtindustries.com/build/developer-guide#what-is-helium" rel="nofollow">https://developer.thoughtindustries.com/build/developer-guid...</a> (that entire site seems to be much more appropriate than the GitHub repository, though I’m not sure where to start):<p>> <i>Helium is a frontend web development framework for building highly contextual, dynamic and personalized learning experiences.</i><p>> <i>Helium utilizes a modern technology stack that includes React, GraphQL, and Tailwind CSS to provide an exceptional developer experience. The out-of-the-box UI components make getting started easy and with GraphQL getting to the data you need is intuitive and fast.</i><p>And below:<p>> <i>Helium is designed to run on the Thought Industries Enterprise Learning Cloud platform. Therefore, an Enterprise Learning Cloud account is necessary.</i><p>So… it’s only any <i>direct</i> use for working with a commercial platform backend (and one with no posted price list, but only “schedule a demo” links). Being MIT-licensed, you might be able to pull substantial bits and pieces out of it (I dunno, the list in <a href="https://github.com/thoughtindustries/helium/tree/staging/packages">https://github.com/thoughtindustries/helium/tree/staging/pac...</a> sounds mostly fairly generic), but it’s not <i>designed</i> for that in any way, and there will be a perpetual maintenance burden to doing so.<p>So I think that (a) the title here is wrong, and (b) it’s unsuitable for a Show HN (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html</a>). I suspect a misunderstanding of the purpose of Show HN by OP, who I suspect is not connected with Thought Industries.
