“If you can't explain it to a five-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.” ~ Albert Einstein Hey Product Hunt Fam 👋, Me and my team are thrilled and proud to present ELI5, which is an online community where you can ask and answer questions in a simple way! (I hope we were able to explain our idea simply otherwise it would be an irony 😁) Features: Answer challenging questions: Put on your explainer hats and simplify challenging concepts. Daily new questions: We know being asked the same questions could be annoying, but we will ensure you get new ones daily. Post your questions: We understand that apart from the questions we post, there are many other concepts which need to be explained simply. We would love you to post your own questions and have them answered for you. Explore top answers: You can explore the top answers to the questions and see what can help you improve your skills!! (Don’t worry we all start somewhere) Share and challenge your friends: Share the questions with your friends and see if they can better you!! (Having bragging rights is always good) Leaderboard: A leaderboard to show off your amazing explaining skills to the whole world. Streak: Answer questions daily to maintain your streak(who doesn’t like to have one). Coming Soon Eli5 Say: Eli5 Say is a community where you can explore the mysteries of the world together! Our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for users to discuss complex topics and learn from one another. Explain with visual media: A picture is worth a thousand words, and we don’t want to limit creativity only to text. You would be able to use other forms of media to explain your answers better. Manage your profile and follow top profiles: You can customize your profile as you want and also follow other profiles on the platform. We would love to hear what the community thinks about ELI5 and what amazing additions we can make in the future in the comments!! -

@dhruv_kalsotra wow, I totally misunderstood what this was... lol, I thought you were using GPT to synthesize ELI5 answers. How quaint to use human input for this purpose! :)

@chrismessina Guess what? We already have plans to integrate GPT that simplify questions for you where the challenge would be to beat the AI with your innovative answers (Isn't that sound interesting). Whereas we can't ignore the fact these technologies are new and need to be trained a bit well to answer questions most simplistically. Human answer may sound quaint, but it's the most authentic and "human" friendly way of understanding things. Yet with the human answer, we seek to train models that can build answers to any question that is even easy to understand for a five-year-old. We appreciate your feedback and will work on it.

This is super cool! I think this is a great concept that could grow into a really fun way to learn. Are you considering building an app as well? I've encountered a few small issues on the website (on desktop, chrome): - When on a question page, I don't seem to have a way to click my way back to the homepage (generally by clicking the brand name) - When hovering the trending questions on the homepage, the cursor does not change to a pointer hand which in terms of usability does not indicate I can click them - When reloading the homepage, I can see a lot of "undefined" elements until the page is fully loaded - I found it difficult to figure out how to reply to a question, the button is not where most users would be expect it to be for a discussion/thread type of UI (there would usually be an empty input field as well) - "Just hit EIL5 button follow the basic rule" seems like a typo? Hope some of that helps, congrats on the launch!

Great Initiative Guys. In the world of jargons and technicals, layman's perspective has become extinct. This was much required to get back to the basics. Kudos to both of you for starting this out. Cheers.
