Status: live on https://talim.app - try the demo

The web app I am developing allows educators to browse, discover, submit and share educational resources such as articles, documents, presentations, etc. The web app will help educators facilitate children's learning.

So far, I've completed the research and design phase and I developed a basic prototype.

I am currently working on the UI (React). As for the backend, I'm progressing with features such voting and favorites.

There are quite some other features still to be done. I'll continue working on the filters, navigation, moderation, notifications and user/moderator dashboards. I'm planning for even a better search experience by adding semantic search and a better editor with inbuilt note-taking.

I'm not in a hurry so there is no timeline, eventually I'll publish educational resources that are relevant to me but for now I'm focusing on the technical aspects. Maybe one day I'll create an online community.

Future plans: integrate a Large Language Model for better discoverability of educational resources.
