Thank you a lot for the kind comment.
Our next update is focused on authentication and 'personalising' the search engine as much as possible. Some features we plan to add are :
- Ability to bookmark maps
- Ability to mark maps as learned
- Ability to see a progress bar of how many maps you have learned compared to how many maps there exist
- Ability to create and share learning paths with other people. A learning path is a collection of maps that can be followed to achieve some goal or skill like becoming a web developer.
- We also want to create APIs that other developers can use to build their own visualisations and use our search and our public database in their own projects
- We also want to add ability to trigger nodes as learned and ability to hide nodes you dislike or have learned
- We also plan to add a text editor that is tied to your account so users can make notes on various topics they have learned or discovered
Our goal with this is to make it a completely personal search engine for learning any topic in this world in the most efficient way. Everything is open source too so if anyone wants to fork it and create their own search engine, they can.
If you want to help us with this, please do. We have an active Slack channel we use for all our communication.
