A Notes Marketplace for Students

Early Research Stage

What I'm building

I'm in the early research phase of a platform where students can share and monetize their notes. The core idea is simple: great note-takers shouldn't be the only ones who benefit from their work and struggling students shouldn't have to figure everything out alone.

The Problem Every semester, students produce incredibly detailed notes that die in a folder after exams. Meanwhile, other students are paying for tutors or falling behind on the same exact subjects. There's no trusted, structured place to bridge that gap.

What I'm exploring What should this platform actually look like? A marketplace? A social feed? A community? I'm keeping it open and letting the research lead studying how students already share notes informally through Discord, Drive links, and Telegram, and understanding where existing platforms fall short.

Current focus Mapping the problem space, understanding student behaviour around note-sharing, and figuring out what kind of platform would actually get used not just built.

Open to thoughts from students, educators, or anyone who's been on either side of this problem.
