Products that do what I created a website for curated list of free courses and certifications does
I recently launched a website called CertifyMaster, and I'm thrilled to share it with you all. It's a curated list of free courses and certifications, aimed at helping people enhance their skills and advance their careers without breaking the bank. This project is a collaboration with CloudStudyNet, and I personally created the site to make quality education more accessible. I've also added a collapsible system to make exploring the website more user-friendly compared to the original GitHub repository created by CloudStudyNet. Additionally, I've implemented a filtering system to help you…

I built this as a small side project to learn and experiment, and I ended up with this! I used a subdomain from my personal portfolio, and everything else runs on free tiers. The project uses Nuxt, SVG, Cloudflare Workers, D1 (SQL), KV, Terraform, and some agentic coding with OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. What started as a joke among friends turned into a fun excuse to build something end to end, from zero to production, and to explore a few things I’d never touched before. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Hi HN, The discussion pops up regularly about which MOOCs and courses to take so I figured I'd start a curated list of recommendations. It's by no means exhaustive (and it's just the ones I know) and is quite broad. If you had any suggestions, feel free to create a PR or Issue, or even respond to this post and I will add it. I'd love to be able to capture quality somehow, but not sure of the way to go about that just yet. https://github.com/tombasche/professional-development

Link here: http://beta.whatispolymath.com Despite all the educational material on the web, I found it pretty hard to learn how to code and design. I had trouble finding high-quality content, figuring out what to learn next, and staying motivated without easy ways to track my progress. So, my co-founder and I built Polymath. Our MVP is pretty simple right now: you can find & submit good content, bookmark & track your progress across different resources, and rate/comment on the material. We’re trying to build a really fun online learning community, and we’ve got some more cool features…

Certo is open-source infrastructure for issuing, managing, verifying, and exchanging digital credentials. It implements Open Badges 3.0[1] and W3C Verifiable Credentials[2] which are the open standards that make credentials portable, machine-verifiable, and vendor-independent. It is designed to be: - Self-hosted: run it inside your own infrastructure, air-gapped network, or sovereign cloud - Standards-compliant: credentials it issues work with any OB3/VC-compatible system - API-first: everything the UI can do, the API can do - Exportable: your data is always yours, in open formats -…

I've been working on this for a few days now. The goal is to create a library of the best free educational content available and to build personalised learning paths for each user, using only free resources and at no cost to the user. Let me know what you think.

I don't know about you but I have already personally paid for online courses at more than €600 to become a better freelancer and I ended up hearing from one of the biggest creators of French-speaking online courses that in reality all the information sold in the online courses are available on the Internet. It's just that it would take a long time to find them all whereas by buying an online course all the information is gathered for you and you don't have to search so yes this information are technically free but by paying for the online course you especially save time. So I wondered if it…

Cut to the chase: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nyzl3pVXp4 I really am a big supporter of quality education being available for everyone, and because of that I've opted to open source my CS education on YouTube. I'm starting with Rails, and I will eventually work around to more core CS topics like circuits -> logic gates -> binary -> assembly -> c -> Data Structures -> Algorithms etc. If you like it subscribe and I'm looking for all the feedback I can get on how to make it better :)
