The aim of this project is to allow people to create and curate reading lists and learning resources around a particular topic and share them on the Life Itself website.
- There are many resources out there for learning about a topic, but it can be hard to know where to start.
- We want to make it easier for people to find resources and get started on their learning journey.
- We want to make it easier for people to share their knowledge and expertise with others.
- There's a diversity of perspectives on any particular topic, so allowing users to create their own reading lists will help to cater for this.
- We want to provide a way for users to find out about topics that they might not have heard of before.
- Places Journal reading lists – great example of how this could look on the website
- LessWrong library – beautiful resource curation design (though it's only for LessWrong's own content)
- Create a basic markdown template that users can duplicate in order to add their reading list to the website through a GitHub pull request.
- User (creator)
- Topic
- Description (of the list and/or topic)
- List of resources. For each:
- Type (e.g. book, paper, video, podcast, etc)
- Title
- Author
- Link
- Description (incl. why it was included in the list)
- Create a (manually curated) page on the Life Itself website that serves as an index of all the reading lists.
- Create 5-10 reading lists to start with.
- Create a page with some basic notes on how to add a reading list to the website.
- Tie this in with a higher level knowledge map
- Auto-generate the reading list index page
- Allow users to submit reading lists without using GitHub
