I think this is a fair take. We are constantly iterating on the videos and the writing to make sure that the quality is high. We would love to hear more about what disappointed you. While some users have enjoyed and gotten value out of the

Thanks! We might end up doing longer videos, but we just found that there was a happy-medium for our attention span with the videos and making them bite sized kept us the most engaged. However, this decision was made before we made some sig

That's fair. It is certainly something we will add if people want it.

Not currently, but we are going to add some features in the future to allow users to report courses that have content that needs to be reviewed for false hoods or any other reasons. In the meantime, if you do see this feel free to email us

This is a totally skippable part of the onboarding. Sorry if this is off putting. I had just really enjoyed this part of other apps like Substack where I can see when people I know join and follow them. Totally understand if this is somethi

Yea I think this is true also.

That's totally possible, but I think from personal experience we haven't really enjoyed those tools because they struggle to form a structured curriculum that has videos and assessments. We love using guided learning or a chatbot

Haha, no that makes sense. I think we've seen a few other people building toward what you are describing, but it definitely would be interesting to see if people end up generating courses in this direction. I think there was a company

Courses are publicly available. When you generate a course anyone on the app can enroll in it.

We use pretty comprehensive web searches to find examples and real worked problems to use in courses and base the curriculum and roadmaps off of publicly available syllabi, so from our experience the content has been accurate. We haven&#x27

Yea we generate the course icons with a quick image generation model so total accuracy in representations is not guaranteed. But the actual courses themselves use research to construct the outlines and videos. Feel free to email us (founder

We've seen some of the people on the app using the social features, but yea I think on some apps it doesn't get used. I think if no one ends up using these features we'll just remove them.

Yes we have the ability to share courses via a url. No worries. Appreciate the feedback.

Sorry about that. We wanted to implement more social features on the app to let users learn with their friends which we figured letting users find friends from their contacts/phone number. Understand that isn't for everyone and we

Both workflows follow the same broad pattern. First, break the video into a set of scenes, then plan the scene, write the code, render it, and iteratively refine the result. For Remotion, the AI determines what resources the scene will need

by zackashen 1mo ago
We are generating the videos using Remotion via React so its not as expensive as using a AI video model like Veo. There are three places where you can customize the course before you generate: 1) The initial prompt where you type what you w

Thanks! We are currently working on enabling international sign ups. Regarding the contact list and sharing your phone number, we wanted to make the app so you could interact with your friends courses as well. Sharing your contacts is also

Thanks! I can't take credit though I first saw it on the landing page for Halo (halohabits.app).

We've had the same name for the past few years, but hadn't seen this other app. Sorry about the confusion. If it ends up being something that we see confusing potential users we will take a closer look.

Thanks! Right now, any course you generate is freely accessible to anyone on the app. Sharing the course requires other users to sign up for Keet. In the future, we could build in some features to allow users to extract the course outlines
