π Introducing LearnByte β Bite-Sized Learning From Creators, For Everyone
Hi everyone!
After weeks of building, experimenting, and rebuilding from scratch (more than once π
), Iβm excited to announce the launch of LearnByte β a lightweight platform for sharing short, impactful lessons.
π Live now:

π― Why I built LearnByte
Iβve always loved learning from creators β but most platforms today are either too big, too monetized, or filled with long-form content that takes hours to consume.
I wanted something simple:
- No overwhelming UI
- No account required
- Just clean, fast lessons
- A place where creators can drop knowledge without friction
So I built LearnByte β a tiny product with a simple mission:
Make learning effortless. One byte at a time.
π§© What LearnByte does today
Right now, LearnByte supports:
β¨ 1. Bite-sized lessons
Each lesson is fast to read and beautifully minimal.
πΉ 2. Video + text support
Upload or embed video + add explanations, steps, summaries, etc.
βοΈ 3. Cloudinary-powered media
Built without a full backend β uses Cloudinary + a lightweight Node.js API (no MongoDB).
β‘ 4. Super lightweight frontend
Static site, blazing fast, no login, no ads.
This is the earliest version β but itβs already useful for creators who want to share quick knowledge drops.
π οΈ The Tech Stack
Hereβs what powers LearnByte:
- Frontend: Vanilla JS + simple component architecture
- Backend: Node.js server (no MongoDB)
- Media: Cloudinary
- Hosting: GitHub Pages + Render
- Design: Minimal, distraction-free layout
The goal was to keep the system lean, fast, and fun to build.
π Launch Lesson (First Content!)
To test everything end-to-end, I published the first lesson:
π https://psjdeveloper.github.io/Learnbyt/#/lesson?id=1764173150765
This also serves as an example for creators.
π§ Whatβs coming next
This is just the baseline. Hereβs what Iβm planning:
- π Search + tags
- π€ Creator pages
- β€οΈ Like / Save lessons
- π Collections
- π§ AI lesson generation
- π± Mobile-first redesign
- π Open API for developers
The vision is to make LearnByte a home for micro-learning β something between a tweet and a full course.
π Feedback welcome!
Since this is the first public release, I would love to hear:
- UI/UX suggestions
- Performance issues
- Feature ideas
- Any bugs you spot
- Or just general thoughts!
You can reach me here or at any of my socials.
π Final Thoughts
LearnByte started as a small idea β βWhat if learning could be lighter?β β and today itβs live.
Iβm excited to keep building, improving, and shaping LearnByte into something creators genuinely enjoy using.
Thanks for reading β and welcome to the journey.
More bytes coming soon. π
