Hey everyone! I really like how websites like Brilliant try to teach in an interactive way. But it’s like $160 (or more depending on the region) a year so I’ve been making a free one.
It’s called OpenAha. right now there’s 140+ courses and 1000+ lessons in math, physics and chemistry. no account or ads.
A few to try if you only have a minute:
- untangle a graph: https://openaha.org/courses/graphs/planar/?step=1
- draw the house in one stroke: https://openaha.org/courses/graphs/konigsberg/?step=3
- program a little robot: https://openaha.org/courses/coding/sequence/?step=6
- Two pendulums passing energy back and forth: https://openaha.org/courses/waves/coupled/?step=3
This project is mostly implemented with claude: I planned every course, then wrote the lessons with AI. so far only about one third of the pages have been carefully reviewed by a person. That’s why I’d really like people to poke at it. If a lesson is confusing or sth’s wrong, make a PR or hit the flag button in the lessons. Also feel free to contribute on github to make this even better.
code: https://github.com/open-aha/open-aha.github.io
Edit, to clear something up: OpenAha isn’t affiliated with Brilliant and doesn’t use any of their content. I don’t even have a Brilliant account. Brilliant just uses the style of learning I liked (try things first, explanation after). every lesson was written for this project, and we’re improving it as an open source community.
And yes it’s not finished, there will be mistakes. That’s what the flag button on every step is for, every report gets fixed in public on github
They should disclose it but no one is going to seriously get recommended to use this until its finished. In the spirit of open-source OP asked if people want to contribute their time. You wouldn’t flame any other foss project this hard for simply being unfinished.
asking strangers to review your LLM outputs without informing them that some (or in this case, most) of it has never been reviewed by any human before, is not at all in the “spirit of open-source”. This website continues to be very misleading: it says “Learn math and science by doing. Bite-sized, hands-on lessons. Drag, predict, and solve your way to real understanding. Free for everyone.” and has a “Start learning” button. The disclaimer which OP added on the About page absolutely needs to be moved to the front page, where everybody will see it before they see a pitch implying that this is ready to go.
@kiarash@lemmy.world when i undeleted your post before, after you added the “less than a third” disclosure on the About page, I told you in a PM that that was insufficient and I see now you have still not fixed it so I am sorry but I am going to delete this post again. Send me a PM if/when you make the disclosure of what this actually is far more prominent. I suggest showing your agent my comments and asking it if this is reasonable and if your disclosures are sufficiently prominent.
