Hey Product Hunt! I m building Disclass (disclass.com) you enter any topic and it generates a structured learning path with curated YouTube videos for each lesson, plus timestamped summaries so you can jump straight to key sections.

I d love to use this thread to learn how you actually learn online and what would make this genuinely useful (not just a playlist generator ).

Questions for the community

1. What s your biggest blocker when learning on YouTube: distraction, lack of structure, choosing the right videos, or time wasted?

2. When you hear AI-curated course, what do you trust vs distrust?

3. How important is it that the course is beginner/intermediate/advanced tailored? How should we ask/diagnose level?

4. Do timestamped summaries feel like a must-have or nice but I ll ignore it ? What format would you prefer (bullets, key takeaways, quiz, notes)?

5. Would you rather have:

   • fewer, higher-confidence videos, or

   • more options with explanations of why each is included?

6. What s a dealbreaker that would make you bounce immediately (slow generation, weak curation, bad UI, too many videos, etc.)?

7. If you could add one feature to help you finish a course, what would it be? (progress tracking, reminders, accountability, projects, quizzes, community, certificates, etc.)

8. Would you use this more for career skills (React/SQL) or life skills (fitness/finance)? Why?
