Show HN: Stacks – share your MOOCs with friends

So this is like Goodread/aggregated recommendation engine for online courses? I like this idea a lot. There are way too many resources nowadays that it's hard to pick and commit to one[1]. Barry Schwartz's Paradox of Choice talks about this phenomenon extensively - when there are too many options to choose from, the abundance itself becomes hinderance to actual action, because the perceived opportunity cost multiplies by the number of options.[2]

If enough people with enough interest updates this database I wonder what kind of insight you'll get - for example, I see many people mentioning Andrew Ng's Machine Learning Coursera course, but is it truly the "best" or are we simply seeing the selection bias?

[1] I have this one link bookmarked to illustrate my point to anyone who would listen - https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/55npda/he...

Cool idea! It'd be nice if there was a feature to have your updates automatically publish to Twitter or Facebook.
