πŸš€ Introducing **LearnByte** β€” Bite-Sized Learning From Creators, For Everyone

πŸš€ Introducing LearnByte β€” Bite-Sized Learning From Creators, For Everyone

Hi everyone!
After weeks of building, experimenting, and rebuilding from scratch (more than once πŸ˜…), I’m excited to announce the launch of LearnByte β€” a lightweight platform for sharing short, impactful lessons.

πŸ‘‰ Live now:
https://psjdeveloper.github.io/Learnbyt/#/lesson?id=1764173150765


🎯 Why I built LearnByte

I’ve 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.


🧩 What LearnByte does today

Right now, LearnByte supports:

✨ 1. Bite-sized lessons

Each lesson is fast to read and beautifully minimal.

πŸ“Ή 2. Video + text support

Upload or embed video + add explanations, steps, summaries, etc.

☁️ 3. Cloudinary-powered media

Built without a full backend β€” uses Cloudinary + a lightweight Node.js API (no MongoDB).

⚑ 4. Super lightweight frontend

Static site, blazing fast, no login, no ads.

This is the earliest version β€” but it’s already useful for creators who want to share quick knowledge drops.


πŸ› οΈ The Tech Stack

Here’s 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.


πŸš€ Launch Lesson (First Content!)

To test everything end-to-end, I published the first lesson:

πŸ‘‰ https://psjdeveloper.github.io/Learnbyt/#/lesson?id=1764173150765

This also serves as an example for creators.


🧭 What’s coming next

This is just the baseline. Here’s what I’m planning:

  • πŸ”Ž Search + tags
  • πŸ‘€ Creator pages
  • ❀️ Like / Save lessons
  • πŸ“š Collections
  • 🧠 AI lesson generation
  • πŸ“± Mobile-first redesign
  • πŸš€ Open API for developers

The vision is to make LearnByte a home for micro-learning β€” something between a tweet and a full course.


πŸ™ 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.


πŸŽ‰ Final Thoughts

LearnByte started as a small idea β€” β€œWhat if learning could be lighter?” β€” and today it’s live.

I’m 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. πŸš€
