April 2, 2024: This project is officially on hiatus. Since starting it, I ended up getting a full-time job and don't have the free time I once had. I am still interested in some open-source projects, but this scope is too big for the time available. I'll revisit this in the future, but for now, I will be turning off the Render deployment.
StudyHall is an open-source courseware platform that (aspires -- it's very early) to help people publish and consume courses focused on improving programming and technical skills.
The early user experience will lean towards maximizing student success through tooling that:
- helps teachers understand student goals and progress
- provides streamlined communication tools to ask for and provide help
- allows students to provide content feedback to help improve courses over time
You can track early development efforts via the project board:
https://github.com/orgs/studyhall-project/projects/1
We are publishing even these early commits to Render, and you can preview the frontend at:
https://studyhall-sveltekit.onrender.com
And the GraphQL backend at:
https://studyhall-elixir.onrender.com/playground
This monorepo houses both the backend (Elixir) and frontend (SvelteKit), as well as other project-wide documentation artifacts.
- asdf is a version management system for command line tools. You'll find a
.tool-versionsfile at the root of this project that helps define the expected versions of things like Erlang and Elixir.
