About the Project

Inspiration

We were inspired by the need for accessible, high-quality education for everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Seeing how many students struggle with traditional learning methods, we wanted to create a platform that combines the best of open education with optional premium content and AI-powered learning tools.

What it does

EduLearn is a community-driven, open-source educational video platform that offers:

• Free core educational content for everyone
• Optional premium content for creators to monetize
• AI-powered tutoring and voice summaries
• Blockchain content verification
• Reddit community integration
• YouTube-like interface with educational enhancements

How we built it

• Frontend: React 18 with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, DaisyUI
• Backend: Supabase for database/auth/storage
• Integrations: RevenueCat, Reddit API, Algorand, OpenRouter, ElevenLabs
• Deployment: Netlify with custom domain

Challenges we ran into

• Integrating multiple third-party services while maintaining performance
• Implementing blockchain verification for content authenticity
• Creating a seamless user experience between free and premium content
• Balancing open-source ideals with sustainable monetization options

Accomplishments we're proud of

• Creating a fully functional educational platform with AI features
• Successfully integrating 8 different hackathon challenge requirements
• Maintaining 100% free core functionality while allowing creator monetization
• Implementing robust security with Row Level Security (RLS) on all tables
