Show HN: Education startup with note-taking collaboration
- fudged71 14y agoIn university now, I've wanted this for a long time. It would be fantastic to have a group of friends in the same classes who each have assigned roles for capturing different parts of the lectures to help each other learn. Someone to draw the diagrams, someone to record the audio and set tags/timestamps with the notes, and others to transcribe and condense the lecture notes into notebooks, study guides, cheat sheets, and flash cards. I'm really curious if this platform can make a difference in education. In higher education, collaboration of LaTeX writing can save a whole lot of time, which is why I was really excited when sharelatex.com came around.
- vladaionescu 14y agoThe team of colleagues use case sounds interesting. We're quite at the beginning right now and we try to focus on very specific burning pains; but in the future some of these things could become part of the product - if there is significant demand for them.
- rohamg 14y agoSmart idea but some of the exiting note sharing platforms have been heading this way too. Interesting to see if an indiegogo funded startup can keep up.
- mmacieq 14y agoThe idea is cool but the execution is even better. From what I saw the prototype itself is pretty awesome. Can't wait for a complete product.
- ricksta 14y agoWhats wrong with Google docs?
- vladaionescu 14y agoGoogle Docs is really awesome, and I use it every day. But the key difference is that JotPot is made especially for students - so it does things like automatically sharing the slides with everyone taking the same course and sorting your notes by subject.
- biaanghel 14y agoI find this interesting and really useful too!
- cristinar 14y agoGreat idea! Hopefully you will succeed!
