Hi everyone! I’m the founder of Explanations (https://explanations.app). I’m building a website where students can get college level math & physics help for 1/10th the cost of private tutoring. You’d type a question, and your teacher replies by drawing a Youtube/KhanAcademy-style video; and this happens asynchronously throughout the week. When I was studying at MIT, I often had to wait 40-60 minutes in line just to get 5 minutes of “help” from a TA - when I needed 1-2 hours. I understood that TAs can’t spend all their time helping me.

Hey there! Out of the necessity to teach my son a new language, I developed an app just for him. After months of use and realizing how effective it was, I decided to make it available to the public. Now, I’m looking for your support, feedback, and possibly help in reaching potential customers. Take a look and let me know your thoughts! Thank you!

Lessonsquill▲11Hi HN, I just launched LessonQuill, an AI-powered tool that helps teachers and instructors generate aligned lesson notes instantly — based on any curriculum or topic you provide.

I wanted to create a tool that does the heavy lifting in seconds, so they can focus more on teaching and less on paperwork. How it works: Paste your curriculum or topic. Set class duration, age group, difficulty level, and number of classes/week. Click Generate → LessonQuill…
