What are you offering that's different from already existing solutions like Moodle or Opigno[1]?

For example with Opigno you can already build an open-source based education platform with content authoring with H5P[2] (HTML-5 based interactive content)

I've used Opigno LMS in the past, it's Drupal based so it's easy to deploy/maintain and basically have all features you advertise. Schools especially may use a learning platform for 10+ years, at least when authoring with H5P they are not stuck in a single platform anymore. What's your solution for this problem?

The loss of flash left a lot of courses or interactive learning content unusable, that's a mistake I hope new platforms don't repeat.

Personally, I think they serve different needs. I see Moodle and Opigno as great tools for traditional learning methods (video and text based).

I struggle with that kind of learning experience and I think I'm not alone. Even using something like H5P, the overall user experience is far from what Duolingo offers for language learning.

Plus, I find the overall UX too confusing. UneeBee is far from good but I hope it will have much better user experience than traditional learning tools.

My vision for the long-term is to make it more practical too: A hands-on tool where we can learn by doing and seeing how things work in real-life. That's very hard to accomplish on tools like Moodle and Opigno.

But, to be clear, I don't think (and I don't aim) to replace those tools. I think UneeBee (and its cloud offerings) will be an additional tool.

Tbh, I don't have a solution for this problem yet and I agree that's an issue. I think having an open plugin system like WordPress will help but I'm not sure how this would work yet. Always open to ideas.
