It took about a month to built the initial prototype for the Search Engine we are building.

https://learn-anything.xyz

We had the interactive mind maps as JSON already however we needed to display them on the web in a nice interface so we made a react component to render the JSON to the screen.

https://github.com/learn-anything/react-mindmap

Overall it took about a month to do the whole thing and get a working prototype, the search engine improved a lot since then though.

Hey great work thanks! I used it a few times with good results.

Would it make sense for your app to also link topics to distance learning universities ?

I mean you could contact them first then talk about a commission fee, if someone joins their course they should pay you

The same thing could be done with coursera and edX.
