Show HN: Create fun learning content simply

Hi HN,

Too many times in my life I always thought to myself.. man I wish I could just create some simple learning content for my friends/peers/coworkers, and I didn't want to send over just a pdf. I've always liked the idea of LMS systems but wished consumers had access to similar systems.

So I thought I'd create a platform that would help me with my problem and Odyssey was born. Odyssey is a web-app that lets you create fun learning content simply. It gives anyone the ability to create learning content whenever they need it. For example, I recently created a piece of learning content titled "How to get started with investing" for my friends.

The product is definitely in its infancy and I'm looking for any and all feedback!

It looks interesting but I would like to see some examples. Can you please add a couple to the landing page? Thanks.

Yes good call. I'll put a few together and put a link out to them on the landing page.

But just to explain some use cases, employee knowledge sharing (since regular employees don't get access to their corporate LMS), pre-work for workshops, a more interesting "wiki-how" for technical things.

TLDR its just for those niche use cases where you want to create interesting learning content on the fly

I would love to see different types of steps / contents. For example: Videos, PDF, other Files, Links to external sources; maybe even SCORMs.

Thank you for the feedback!SCORMs especially is an interesting idea. Could I ask in what use cases you might see these other types of content coming in handy?

If I were to create a journey for a friend describing a process how to set up an imap mail account on your iphone for example, I would create it with already existing contents on the internet. Maybe use a useful youtube tutorial or an article on the verge or something.
