Yeh, my partner is also becoming a primary school teacher in Australia. I also noticed the duplication with lesson plans they were having when they went to do their practical components at schools. So I built a little app[1] to help her and her colleagues create lesson plans and share it with each other. No intention of monetising it, just wanted to learn some mongodb and rails with it.
Good to see you know your target users. Maybe you can outline example use cases somewhere in the copy. It might be be enough to persuade potential customers that they need your product. =)
Hi Pius, no you're not a jerk at all and that is a very valid point that you make. I havn't had the time to do that in the last 12 hours since I launched it.
I understand your point about a wiki. For now, I don't want to host tutorials on Mongofu. I'd prefer people to host their own tutorials on their own blogs/websites and let others know of this through Mongofu.
Your second point, "good tutorials are always relevant"; I completely agree with you there and I'll sort out a vote/rank algorithm eventually. Perhaps a moderated static page to post these "great" resources.
hey benologist, hehe yes I agree it needs more resources. Thats why i'm hoping people will post up resources. I only made the site live 12 hours ago ;)
The mongodb commmunity is quite small right now I think, i'm sure it'll grow, and the amount of resources out there will grow with it. =)
Sorry, missed your last point. I agree that stack overflow and mongo wiki are great resources and I'm not trying to replace these at all.
My aim is to have people post their tutorials and articles in a more centralised place. As for the occasional MongoDB question, perhaps it is better to post at stack overflow, we'll see how things play out and what people prefer.
Anyway, this is more of a instrument for me to learn to develop and manage a website anyway. Thanks again
Hey Gary,
Yeh I agree with you on the point about not using an email, I've actually stuck that on my todo list last night after thinking about it.
As for openId and fbconnect, I have plans to implementing these later on. I just wanted to launch it and see if it'll be useful to people first and refine it.
