What I Built
When I first started teaching myself things, I had no idea where to even begin. I didn't know what to learn first, how to structure it, or which resources were actually worth my time versus which ones were just going to waste it. I figured it out eventually, but it took way longer than it should have, mostly because nobody handed me a starting point.
The other thing that's always bothered me is that learning shouldn't have a price tag on it for people who genuinely can't afford one. Not everyone can pay for a course, and that shouldn't be the thing standing between someone and learning what they want to learn.
Those two things together are why I built Trove. It's a directory of learning resources. You pick a topic, programming, design, electronics, drawing, computer basics, whatever it is, and you get a short list of things that will actually teach you, for free, instead of spending an hour digging through search results that dead end at a paywall three chapters in.
