Hey HN,
Check out HN.Academy and let me know what you think. It's the result of mining the HN archives for references to online courses and then ranking them and displaying all references in one place.
Ranking currently takes into account HN stories (points) and comments (sentiment, karma, estimated points).
I had started with a much broader set of course providers, but Coursera ended up swamping the rankings of pretty much all the other providers. edX is also in the rankings with a few courses. I plan to add more providers but as of now none of them will impact the top rankings.
If you were looking to start a new learning endeavor in the new year... here ya go.
Best,
Yaj
- garrettskj 8y agotoo bad, you weren't able to rank these by difficulty and/or skill level. even without that, this is an awesome list. thanks.
- jczhang 8y agoInteresting, wonder if that's because Coursera is perceived and thought of as better in general or is it due to other reasons such as general popularity. May make sense to have some kind of normalization to unbias it if the latter.
