Show HN: Course platform made out of YouTube videos and Free Resources

I've been working on this for a few days now.

The goal is to create a library of the best free educational content available and to build personalised learning paths for each user, using only free resources and at no cost to the user.

Let me know what you think.

I found the radio button on the left side very confusing (see for example https://www.notclass.com/path/generative-ai/beginner ). I expected each circle to be an option/question, not a different video.

Now it's too similar to a curated watching list in youtube. It's nice that you can mark a course as completed (and unmark it). But I think you should add quiz (or something) as the sibling comment suggest. (You may write the quiz if you want to keep it B2C.)

I didn't realise this was meant for consumers.

To make this a B2B play - consider allowing youtubers to paste a url or video to create a pop quiz & course. Upto N slides / chapters freemium.

I wanted to make this a B2C product for those who can't afford to buy an online course, but don't want to scroll through all the content that's on youtube...

As for the B2B idea, it might work, but this would be just another gpt wrapper.

I'm honestly more interested into doing something useful, by embedding a ton of youtube content, then creating 100% free learning paths with free resources.

I intend to keep notclass free forever. No hidden fees.

but for some reason it didn't get that much traction... I know there are just 2 learning paths, I just finished the whole thing in 5 days... Currently the learning pathways are done manually, but the idea would be to embed lots of high quality videos so that they can be re-arranged into courses based on what the user needs.

Why not use roadmap.sh to add more paths?
