Ask HN: Would you want to watch YC's Stanford Course together online?
I love YC’s Stanford Course “How to start a startup”.
You can watch it at your own pace on Youtube, but for many of us, the value is in watching things together and discussing what’s being presented. There is tremendous value in the conversations that happen around such classes. The questions asked. The sharing of ideas. The sharing of additional resources.
So I’ve built a little online classroom and I’ll be live streaming YC’s course from Monday til Sunday. There’ll be a live chatroom to accompany the live stream, so you can chime in, discuss the lectures, make new friends (find a potential new cofounder?) etc.
Question: Would you like to join the watch party, and take this class in your pyjamas from the comfort of your home/where ever you are?
No: Why not?

- bbcbasic 10y agoNo. Due to being in a different time zone and family commitments means it's hard to get a specific time to do it. Whereas watching on youtube can just be done during a lunchbreak.
- 1_listerine_pls 10y agoGreat post, I had no idea they existed.
- Emouri 10y agoNo. I like the idea but I haven't got time every day. I might be able to do an hour or two a week. I'm also probably not in a timezone where it makes sense like bbcbasic also points out.
- ruler88 10y agoit is hard to dedicate large chunk of time on a regular basis without clear ROI attached. What does the watch party offer that a discussion forum doesn't? Is the real time feedback really worth me stressing out about making a chunk of time regularly?
