Aha! moments of learning: An idea I'm working on. Want to know your thoughts ...
Hello Hackers, I'm working on a project and would like to know your thoughts and suggestions.
The idea:
It's often difficult to understand complex concepts and we spend a lot of time browsing the internet until we come across that one article or that one video which explains it perfectly and then we go Aha! This web app I'm building is a place to share such Aha moments.
For example, I never understood what database indexes are until I came across this stackoverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1108/how-does-database-indexing-work
Good explanations like these are buried somewhere on the internet and this is an attempt to gather all of those in one place.
Some other examples: Calculus, General Relativity, Black Hole, Complex Numbers
Sell me the idea:) Let's have a 1-on-1 call and challenge this solution (i.e. idea validation)
I don't think I would use this service (in the form you describe). If I want to share a learning, I'd probably want to do that in a place that I could get maximum reach. For me that would be an existing social media account where I have an established audience, unless I was able to get massive reach using this service. Perhaps you could modify the concept to utilise people's existing audiences...
Thanks for the feedback reinard. Point taken. But I keep wondering how other communities started. Like Quora, Stackoverflow. The idea is to make this a central place for sharing learning experiences and build a community.
