Show HN: Edify Web Services – a digital backpack
edify.ws
I’m Stefan, a 25 year old entrepreneur and I would like to showcase Edify, a platform that helps you show what you know. We offer a digital version of one of the most famous tools on the planet called the Backpack, something we all used to store and share our knowledge at some point, through which you can share any creation on our internet sphere! We feel like we could freshen up the current state of the internet by helping content creators share way more types of content than what the internet currently allows (basically creators can only monetize photo and video creations).
I go into more detail here:
Commentary: https://youtu.be/JttxuOIrtZo
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fJXlPDH0bdE
App: https://edify.ws/ (we are technically live and ready to use, but we are a very small 2 person project currently)
This is our 4th iteration over the past 7 years. We first created this app for schools, but they didn’t show much interest. Then, we thought about linking knowledge people share with people that need help, but we soon realized that we need to give people a reason to post knowledge which lead to our current iteration where we hope to help content creators unlock more of their potential by being more flexible about what “content” on the internet can be.
Let me know what you think, we have also applied to YC with this project so if you like this vision perhaps you can show support for us to YC! Thank you :)
