Hi HN, I'm Rishi, one of the two developers at Opennote. Opennote is an edtech platform built for interactivity, with robust text-to-animation generation, Desmos and whiteboard agent integrations, and context-awareness throughout to offer the most personalized experience possible.
As second-year students, we've already had our fair share of tough classes - and limited resources, lectures with thousands of students, and a small instructional team to orchestrate it all doesn't exactly help.
For students trying to juggle classes and apply complex content, it becomes difficult to grasp the content in a way that they understand. So we interviewed students and professors to get an idea of how we could make higher education more personalized and interactive.
We started Opennote in early 2024, as first-years competing at a hackathon and were able to develop an MVP in about 40 hours. We got a lot of great feedback and ran an open beta run a couple months later just to test the waters, but things didn't feel right quite yet. Now, we've rebuilt the platform from the ground up and went all in on building a robust, interactive suite that students really value.
Education demands innovation, and Opennote is our solution. We'd love to hear your feedback - what do you think?
