    Just saw a few of the clips from 101 and think you've curated pretty good content here. Even beyond initial learning, I like to revisit good content / lessons every now and then.

    Any plans to add other subjects?

      Hey thanks for checking it out!

      I will add more subjects in the future, hopefully based on feedback - would you like to see more Business courses or more fun/creative ones (e.g. Home Cooking 101)?

        I could see creative being fun, but if I had to upvote another area it would be health (nutrition, sleep, diet, etcl

    Who curated the clips, and what was the criteria used for choosing them?

    • longerpath 12 hours ago ago

      I curated the clips (but didn't create them).

      Criteria was: is the person a successful startup founder? And does the clip contain practical advice?

        That's kinda what I had assumed, just wanted to make sure you weren't using AI or something like number of views

          AI might have been a disaster here, I think.

          I agonized for a long time about which clips should go in vs. which should be left out.

          But it's subjective. For example, if I want to add a basic cooking course - who should I choose to be the authority on cutting vegetables? Ideally, I'd want a professional in that domain to do the curation.
