Noodle – The Open Source Education Platform

For the last few months, it seems like the only growing projects on GitHub are only the ones related to AI, but this one surprised me. I'm far from my school days, but I played with it a bit, and it seems very promising, also pretty fancy, and has this slick feel of the product that changes how we think of school systems.

Isn’t the name a badly covered copy of the moodle name?

Indeed:

> The name came up from our usage of the platform Moodle throughout our university years. We wanted to build something with our idea for this platform and the name Noodle came up as a joke. We liked it and it stuck.

I guess the “N” commes from NodeJS, because this is written in TypeScript (JavaScript with type annotations) and runs on NodeJS instead of PHP as Moodle does.
