What it does

Profound Academy helps teachers provide in-depth knowledge of Computer Science through hands-on learning. Create courses, analyze student progress, detect cheating, use our 1000+ database of exercises, and automate 80% of the mundane work.

Turn a course idea into hands-on lessons, coding labs, exams, and autograders — ready to review, publish, and teach.

Describe what you want to teach. Profound turns it into an editable course with lessons, coding labs, projects, exams, autograders. Student submit their work, get grades, and the platform helps you run the improvement loop. The course map appears after the instructor sends the prompt. Prompt : An instructor describes the course they want to teach. Profound connects the entire process — from course structure and learning materials to delivery, assessment, and improvement. Starter files, projects, public tests, hidden tests, and editorials. Multi-file assignments, scaffolds, grading logic, and rubrics. Progress, mastery, student monitoring, and content improvement.

  • Lovable▲1,477

    Hey HN! Previous CERN physicist turned hacker here. We've developed a way to make AI coding actually work by systematically identifying and fixing places where LLMs typically fail in full-stack development. Today we're launching as Lovable (previously gptengineer.app) since it's such a big change. The problem? AI writing code typically make small mistakes and then get stuck. Those who tried know the frustration. We fixed most of this by mapping out where LLMs fail in full-stack dev and engineering around those pitfalls with prompt chains. Thanks to this, in all comparisons I found with: v0,…

  • I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!
