Hi Product Hunt, and thanks for the hunt @katmanalac! We’re @chadwick_swenson & Lawrence, the founders behind Tappity. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of two brand new features in the app: interactive live classes & Tappity Originals! We all know it’s been a difficult year, especially for families. Two themes kept coming up In our conversations with parents: their kids were struggling to stay engaged on Zoom and parents just don’t have the time to find and evaluate quality stuff for their kids to use at-home. When we were in YCombinator this past summer, we decided to tackle these two problems head-on! With Tappity Live Classes, we’ve created a series of mini-classes 4x a week based on a weekly science theme kids are interested in. For example, we recently wrapped a week about snow! In each class, kids are encouraged to participate, not just watch, by voting on what our teacher should do next, completing activities with them, or answering science trivia. In this format, kids never feel like they’re just watching a video or sitting in a class. Instead, they feel like they’re on a fun playdate with our expert! Tappity Originals is our experimental foray into producing ultra-high quality content for kids. We’ve combined immersive story-telling, high-production quality, and interactivity to create content that pushes the limit of what’s possible in kids edutainment. And unlike Netflix or YouTube, kids get to play an active role and participate in these episodes. We're super excited about this series! If you’re interested in checking these features out, you can download the app for free, where you'll also get at least 30 lessons also for free. Interested in subscribing? We have a special PH link where you can get 33% off: https://app.tappityapp.com/refer... We’d love to hear your feedback and we're here to answer any questions you may have! Lawrence & Chad

@william_stribling Nothing but the best quality video for our young Tappernauts (you become a Tappernaut in Tappity of course 😊 )!
Björn Jeffery
A very unique product in an exceptionally complex space. It strikes a perfect balance of education and fun, which is highly unusual. I’m an advisor to the company, but also have 10 years of experience from this specific space and I have seen a lot. This product stands out!
Chadwick Swenson
@bjornjeffery Thank you Björn! Your advice has been invaluable :)
Max Ball

Russ Cofounder @ Tappity
So exciting!!!
Nik Talreja
So awesome! I love your content approach, and find your programs consumable at 30-something. I think so much other content for kids underestimates just how curious kids really are, and fail to nurture problem-solving values, which are super important (kids want/need more than just wacky characters, bright colors and shiny objects)! You guys have struck an incredibly hard balance between fun and educational, and I think this makes Tappity super valuable. Really excited to see what you have in store for partnerships and additional product opportunities. Tappity is perfectly positioned to partner with content-producers that would otherwise fail to produce truly engaging content. I agree with Chad that this category is a growing one, and Tappity is on a roll. Bravo, team!
Chadwick Swenson
@niktalreja Thank you Nik! So glad to have you guys at 18.ventures on board :)

@ahmetkara Thanks for checking out Tappity. Our app package is a bit large right now. We plan to get it below 200mb over the next couple of months as we improve our streaming video infrastructure.

What an incredibly timely and much needed product. I, as an adult, find the videos engaging (which may say something about my mental maturity...) and educational. I love the format too - the interactive nature of the content lends itself to more effective learning too. Keep up the great work, Tappity team!!
Chadwick Swenson
@grant_morgan Thank you for the support Grant! I really appreciate it.

@evgeniya_shalenko Thanks Evgeniya! I believe the kids category will boom over the next 10 years as millennials have/raise kids and look for new products to solve their needs.

Couldn’t be more impressed with what this team has built — incredible learning tool for the young ones (and obviously a lifesaver over the last year)
