Using Phoenix LiveView to create interactive courses

I'm launching UneeBee on Product Hunt today. It's an open-source tool for building interactive courses like Duolingo.

You can check the source code on GitHub:

About this project

Interactive learning is more effective than traditional methods. Learners remember 10% of what they hear, 20% of what they read but 80% of what they see and do. That's why 34 hours of Duolingo are equivalent to a full university semester of language education.

We love Duolingo. We think those kind of interactive experiences should be used in more fields. That's why we're building UneeBee, an open-source platform to create interactive courses like Duolingo. You can use it at your organization, school, or using our marketplace to share your experience in a fun way.

View on GitHub

I'm using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView to build it. It's still early-stage, so there's a lot that needs to be improved but I'm making the roadmap public so that you can follow along.

I'm new to the Elixir ecosystem but I'm really impressed with early results. Development experience and speed is great. Plus, performance is amazing. I have two of the cheapest machines on fly.io and both CPU and RAM seems to be enough to run this Phoenix project.

I'll share more details about this project and the technical challenges in a new post soon. Stay tuned.
