Hi HN, Let me know if you have any thoughts about what is good/bad and how it could be a better experience. Thanks!

Show HN: Unbundling Microlearning from Social Media

https://askquda.com/home/jasonfried

Hi HN,Because I love to learn I've always felt like I'm wasting time on social apps. On X, for me there's too much noise/clickbait versus helpful learning content.I've built a site where you get a feed of educational Q&As organised by topics and across fields like tech, science, design.I'm onboarding creators at the moment who answer new Qs asynchronously in video, audio or text.Jason...

true. It interests me that the internet is still text-first in many respects, even since the rise of video. There's the obvious reasons why this is such as it's quicker to do than producing a vid, but I think the main reason is it doesn't make you self-conscious in the way other mediums do like audio/vid, or oblige you to socialize as you say.

appreciate that. It's something I've thought about. For this one, I received 16 questions so got a good response for one AMA. The upside of gating questions is you get to see who has asked (profile pic and name) which I feel makes it a bit more human. Agree though I'm losing a few folks who land and don't like the friction of signing up. Gus' point below is a good suggestion so that people landing can at least see questions asked rather than blank page. Thanks for your feedback.
yes, needs to be clearer, thanks
thanks Gus. At the moment all the questions come in and go to Steve privately to answer at the same time. The Q&As go live on the page once he answers, that's why it's empty. Will publish all the Q&As in about a week. Good suggestion about making questions public from the beginning to encourage more participation.

AMA with Professor Steve Brusatte on mammalian evolution

I'm running an AMA with Professor Steve Brusatte (Paleontology, Edinburgh Uni) on his new book the Rise and Reign of the Mammals.The AMA is on Quda, an audio app I've built for knowledge-sharing.The Q&As are in audio and asynchronous, so you record a question and Steve answers in his own time.If you have a question for Steve on any aspect of mammalian evolution or paleontology in general,...
