I built OpenStudy — a free way to find official university courses and create a flexible self-study plan
Hi everyone,
I’ve been building **OpenStudy**, a free bilingual platform for people who want to learn from official university course materials without searching across dozens of websites.
The current beta includes:
* 160+ courses from universities such as MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Berkeley, Princeton, CMU, Tsinghua, and Peking University * Links to official lectures, assignments, exams, notes, and projects * Reference learning paths based on published university degree requirements * Flexible course plans generated from the official content sequence * Progress tracking and optional account sync * English and Chinese interfaces
OpenStudy does not host or copy university course materials. It organizes verified official links and helps learners continue from where they stopped.
The project is still in beta, and I’m looking for honest feedback—especially about search quality, course information, study plans, mobile usability, and anything that feels confusing or broken.
I’d really appreciate direct criticism. What would prevent you from using this for self-study, and what should I improve first? #programming #technology #dev
