There's a dashboard where users can manage questions for each course. It's pretty basic right now: - You can add multiple question. - Each question can have some content, one image and multiple options users can select. - Each option can have a title, an image and a feedback displayed to users when they select/confirm that option. I want to add an option to import/export JSON. It's actually on the roadmap for v1: - https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee/issues/41 https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee/issues/41 - https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee/issues/40 https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee/issues/40 In the future, I also want to implement some kind of plugin system because certain subjects require a different learning style. But I'm not sure yet how this would work. I need to think about it.

Right. People say that HelloChinese is better for Chinese because some of the question types are drawing Hanzi, so I think this is a perfect use case for a plugin system where a course could add a plugin for Hanzi/Kanji drawing and not be slowed down by the core developers.

  Duolingo introduced drawing Hanzi a couple of months ago. Worth checking out their approach if you haven't seen it.

  > it might be more sustainable if courses were stored in a version controllable medium to facilitate multiple collaborators My initial thought was to actually use GitHub to store the content. Either on Markdown or JSON - to have some version control. I like how Exercism [1] does it. But I thought it would be hard for teachers - unfamiliar with Git - to update lessons. Then, I thought about implementing a version control system for the project but I felt I was overcomplicating things for an MVP. But I like the idea of having some kind of version control to improve collaboration. [1] https://exercism.org/ https://exercism.org/

    Right, I think that there should be an editor that can open a project folder (consisting of json files and assets like images or sound clips) that teachers can use and share with each other (because they understand copying a folder and naming it v2 then emailing it to a colleague), but that folder could also be uploaded as a repo to github for more organized projects. You could also have a cloud service to store the project files, and then the teachers can just login to the editor and click save to upload their latest copy of the course.
