[FEAT] Feed to share/explore stuff #157

Closed f0lio closed 1 year ago

f0lio commented 1 year ago

Hey there, amazing work!

This is more of a question than a suggestion.

The already-existing features are really great, but they are focused on an individual-experience, which is good, in some sense. I would understand if the focus of Noodle is not about collaboration but more about having a set of tools to help you stay focused and organized, in one place. Though, in my opinion, isolated spaces might not be the best in terms of generating value (knowledge).

Are you planning (thinking) of having some sort of Feed where users can share some education-related stuff (material, tips, etc)?

asutekku commented 1 year ago

Just my two cents, but it's very likely if you give the students a feed to post custom content, it's going to be full of spam and jokes in 2 minutes. Moderation would be a must.

f0lio commented 1 year ago

That's right. Sadly.

I think It's always a trade off; if the value coming from a feed is considerable, then it's fine with some slipped off-topic stuff. Plus Noodle has a clear niche. Moderation won't be as complicated as other generic (social) platforms. A simple voting system can drastically enhance the experience.

The idea is that in the future we will allow students to sell their course notes on a marketplace instead of scraping it after the year is done. This gives the incentive to write notes and might improve productivity. But it's a feature planned for the very future.

This project looks very promising!

From a quick glance, it does appear to be more focused on the individual based on the 3 minutes of researching I've done. Are there any plans of implementing some sort of collaboration workflow; e.g. create virtual study groups (with realtime collaboration?), sharing notes for viewing etc?

Would be amazing to see community based templates. But yea moderation would be a must, including "Report" buttons so everyone will join in in moderating. New amazing features always come with small costing

selling notes? wonder if there are ethical considerations there? I would think at least in US classrooms it may be a problem.

@jamespack The idea is throughout the year, you're taking notes for a certain module right? Would it not be a bonus if after the year is over you could pass over your notes to the people who are going to your year, at the same university for a small fee? Instead of just archiving it and that's it.

@Rotbjorn you will be able to share your notes with other users

So basically mostly the first ones to attend the course will benefit from this feature financially, no?

Maybe. What if the course changes.

Yea. I mean I get it. I just know American students. Wouldn't take long for notes to actually mean test answers. I think also kinda kills incentive for the buyer to actually learn it.

About 99% of people going into university would know by now that it isn't effective to depend on those notes if they wish to achieve better on their academic tests and exams. A big majority would know how and when to use those notes and not completely depend on them

Selling or not, having the ability to list your Notes is a good start, but not enough!

Who knows if just a year from now, all what we consider as good notes would become just a few well-crafted prompts ready to be used for some fine-tuned AI assistant, or just a well-instructed bot like what Khan Academy is already doing.

Having more freedom in sharing content to enable a collaborative space, is the least you can do to avoid sand-boxing the app's potential, and hopefully satisfy students' needs.
