What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, We're Mayu & Glenn, the founders of ThinkStation (Free BETA: https://beta.thinkstation.io/download/). We provide an education platform for kids aged 5-10 to learn intriguing concepts through interactive Live Instruction! Now more than ever, we know parents are stressed out. We want to help you buy back 30 minutes of your day to enjoy a sip of coffee, nap or work! Your kids can learn about the dirty jobs of the middle ages, or learning what is money whilst you sip away on a tea with a book -- and its content you can trust! We’ve come from the realm of extracurricular education -- prior to testing this, we use to run a robotics/programming camp where we taught students to learn languages such as C#, JS etc through projects and have them compete at university hackathons -- and win :) When COVID hit we had to shut down and it was pretty brutal -- especially because we were so used to teaching students in person. I was then helping my sister out taking care of her 3 year old daughter -- and I realized working from home as a parent is a terrible endeavour. We realized in order to buy time for meetings, coffee or just a short bit of alone time we needed to create something educational, engaging/interactive and well.... not youtube. Also, easy for the parents to use :) We’ve built and released our BETA via TestFlight/TestFairy (3 Weeks!) in hopes to generate as many testers and we hope to keep you entertained by our weekly patches and new content! We run at 4pm EST on Mon/Wed/Fri (Let us know if you want us in your time zone!): [email protected] Our FREE BETA version is available via: beta.thinkstation.io/download This release includes: -Live Stream Videos at 4pm EST Mon/Wed/Fri -Individual Student Accounts -COPPA compliant chat features! Also, you are more than welcome to share amongst your family and friends! This our first time posting in this community and look forward to all of your feedback! PS. Anywhere else we should post?

Hello HN, Over the last 12 months, I have been building https://learnawesome.org This idea came from Danny Hillis' 2012 talk at OSCON, which itself was inspired from Neal Stepehenson's _The Diamond Age : A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer_ The dream is to build a tool that matches the right learning material to the right student at the right time. Wikipedia is great, but it doesn't do a good job of leveraging the rich variety of learning resources that exist on the Web. Same applies to GoodReads - which is focused only on books, whereas these days we actually learn from videos,…

Hey there, First time posting on HN. We're looking for feedback from parents. We're 2 dads who started working on Dadditude in the midst of covid lockdowns last year. Being a dad can be a long, emotional, draining, and lonely journey. Through our research we learned that dads want to improve their parenting but are too shy to ask for help, and are tired of reading content online written for mums. We set out to fix that and create a platform that would help dads feel seen, validated, and supported. By helping dads, we hope to support moms and partners too, because all parents deserve more…

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time. Instead, I rejigged/relaunched it via a Reddit forum this February as free and open - and have now gathered a team of helpers to ensure that it keeps going each month even after I can’t…
