Open-source tool for building courses like Duolingo (alien.top)

I'm launching UneeBee, an open-source tool for creating interactive courses like Duolingo:

GitHub repo: https://github.com/zoonk/uneebee
Demo: https://app.uneebee.com/

It's pretty early-stage, so there's a lot of things to improve. Everything on this project is going to be public, so you can check the roadmap on GitHub too: https://github.com/orgs/zoonk/projects/11

I'm creating this project because I love Duolingo and I wanted the same kind of experience to learn other things as well.

But I think this could be useful to other people too. I'll soon launch three products using UneeBee:

- Wikaro: Focused on enterprise. It allow companies to have their own white-label Duolingo. I think this is going to be great for onboarding and internal training.

- Educasso: Focused on schools. It will allow teachers to easily create interactive lessons, compliant to local school curriculum. I want to make it in a way that saves teacher's time, so they focus more on their students rather than lesson planning.

- Wisek: Marketplace for interactive courses where creators will be able to earn money creating those courses.

I'm not sure this is going to work out but, worst case scenario, I'll have products that I can use myself because I'm a terrible learner using traditional ways. Interactive learning is super useful to me, so I hope it will be to other people too.

If you have some spare time, please give me your brutal feedback. I really want to improve this product, so no need to be nice - just let me know your thoughts. :) I'm also around to answer any questions.

PS. I'm also launching it on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/uneebee

Looks interesting! Is there a way to create a step without questions? For example, if someone want to have certain steps to be a "reading" instead of a quiz?

Hey mate,

I just wanted to say, awesome job. As good as Duolingo is, it tends to be a "jack of all trades, master of none", and hopefully this encourages teams, schools, businesses to create their own courses and curriculum.

We were in a similar boat, so we started a site focused just on Japanese.

From a business perspective, the Wikaro product looks really neat. I've worked a lot of e-learning / online learning jobs and the tech can feel so antiquated (eg "SCORM" shudders)

Good luck with the launch and roll out. If you ever want to talk shop, feel free to ping me! Always love talking to other educators.

saw your project - it's an innovative approach to learning, much like duolingo.

the variety with Wikaro, Educasso, and Wisek is smart, targeting different users. really like that it's personal to your learning style.

checked out the demo and github, the potential's clear. excited to see where this goes, especially on product hunt. great job on creating something unique in the learning space!
