Two months ago, we released the KoolStories beta application šŸ˜‰ Thanks to your support, we had the chance to work on valuable feedback. This process gave birth to KoolStories Version 1.0 šŸš€ It's an exciting moment, and I am glad to share it with you! What are the newest updates you will find: šŸ“± Updated UI: We have implemented a new UI to provide an upgraded user experience. The user flow has been simplified, with an emphasis on interactions and behaviour, as well as new elements that contrast with one another. We gave the app a new, fresh, and modern look that was not only consistent with our final target but it would also enticed people to use it. šŸŽÆ Mini-Course Dashboard: Many of you asked about a more intuitive and dynamic minicourse dashboard; now, you can navigate more easily into the minicourse, interact and connect with other learners attending the same course and discuss the topic within a chatbox. šŸ”— Snipt linked with Mini-Courses: We have broken the barrier between a one-minute snipt and its technique; you can finally dive into the methods and secrets behind it with just a click. šŸŽ§ Audio content: Audio snipt and minicourses are now available on KoolStories. Be tuned: We will release a gamification feature with rewards to elevate the learning experience after watching a minicourse, and we will optimise the current flow based on your feedback. Let us know any suggestions, thoughts and ideas that could bring the KoolStories reality to another level. Let's turn social media behaviour into a helpful learning experience together! šŸ“£

@alessandro_canella Congrats on the launch! This is incredible, in this day & age, people need to focus on upskilling as nothing is secure or guaranteed. I'm always on board with people having more methods of informing and educating themselves!

@alessandro_canella congrats with the launch! Idea sounds interesting. Guys, who designs the courses, you do it yourself or allow your users to add it as well? Didn't find the info about this.

I love this product, mostly because it gives you condensed information but especially because you can connect with like-minded people. Congratulations on the launch, it's an amazing product @alessandro_canella @lodovico_sella @jacopo_lai @giovanni_ghigliotti2 @susy_allocca @gi_bi. Awesome job!

Great to see KoolStories launch on Product Hunt! The concept of fast-paced, bite-sized learning sounds seems cool!
Alessandro Canella
Maker
@mariamyusuf_ Hey Mariam, we decided to invest our focus into micro-learning and fast-paced content due to the low attention span of people. Micro-learning is the best way to enhance a digestible learning experience where you can immediately practice the technique you have learnt with the mini-course. Again, I am glad to see you here, and I am happy to count on you on the way to chance e-learning.
Advait Vaidya
Congrats on the launch!! How are you controlling the user generated content quality as this is a student platform?
Alessandro Canella
Maker
@advait_vaidya1 Hey Advait, thanks for your support! This is a kool question. In such a platform as KoolStories, curation is the key; just online professionals and experts can produce content on KoolStories, and we have a verification process in-house to moderate the content creator selection and the content production. This is a nice question. Thanks for asking. :)
