Interesting. I like the implication that content runtime is a cost not a benefit of courses. And the content is accessible as text and forward-skippable nicely. As someone who avoids youtube unless it's the only source of information on a subject, this is great.

Not entirely sure about calling it "madrassa", though.



"madrassa" is simply arabic for "school"; i really like the name because for me the word brings the ancient arab scholarly traditions to mind. also it is a nicely inclusive touch to use the word despite the somewhat unfortunate connotations it has taken on in the west.


Youtube is (unfortunately) for me most of the times the go-to place for learning something. Hopefully that can change. And yes... the project's codename can/might/will definitely change. tnx for the feedback


I like the name madrassa. It stands out, and as someone pointed out means school in Arabic.


yeah,not fan of the name,at all,for obvious reasons.
