Roadmap
What we're building, what's coming, and what the community wants.
Users can add supported languages to their courses, such as English, French, Welsh, and then these languages will be supported when creating content. This will allow the teacher to create videos, text, images, etc in these languages and then the students can select the language they want.
Set your site name, upload a logo, and choose an accent colour that carries through student-facing pages.
Teachers will see their current plan tier, usage against limits (email sends, contacts, video storage), and billing history in one place.
Students receive a downloadable certificate when they complete a course, personalised with their name and course title.
Give students and fans a unique referral link to earn a commission on any subscriptions they bring in.
When sending broadcast email, it would be good to be able to set two possible subject lines, and the send each to a small group of the email list and minito open rates before picking the most effective subject line to use with the remainder of the email list.
When uploading a video to the lesson builder, the video speech will be auto-transcribed. This requires a small AI language model, as auto transcription cannot be done reliably without one unless transcribed manually. The feature should also support multiple languages.
Schedule live cohort sessions or webinars and let students register, add them to their calendar, and get reminders.
A native iOS and Android app for students to watch lessons, take notes, and join forum discussions on the go.
This would run forum posts by a small abuse model to make sure the post wasn't abusive. This could work as the main moderator, or as a step in the manual moderation process.
Award points for lesson completion, forum participation, and streaks. Students earn badges and see a leaderboard.
Use AI to draft lesson outlines, expand notes into full lesson text, or generate quiz questions from existing lesson content.
Add if/else logic to email automation workflows — send different paths based on whether a student has completed a lesson, clicked a link, or holds a specific tag.
This feature allows students to search through all lesson content using natural language to find exactly what they need. For example, a search for "understanding depth of field and aperture" will return specific videos covering that topic, complete with direct timestamps to the relevant sections.
The following features are grouped by topic. Each group may include a question we'd love your input on.
AI is everywhere right now, and services are racing to integrate it as quickly as possible. Our architecture makes this straightforward when it's genuinely needed, but we won't add it for its own sake. The Achene servers run on renewable energy and only spin up when in use, giving us a lower carbon footprint than most, but no digital service is without environmental cost. Are the benefits worth it?
Should we integrate AI? Is it worth the cost to the environment and the potential other externalities?
