Just added Commune: Commune lets homeschool families share teaching duties without sharing their data. Families who teach together can now form a private commune. When it's your turn to cover another kid, you see exactly what to teach and how to teach it that day, and everyone keeps their own private data. The only thing shared is the topics a parent approves for the day. The covering parent's app rebuilds each full lesson locally from those topics, so no private data moves.

I've always had a soft spot for EdTech. When I saw this tweet from @lionel_mora a few weeks ago, I couldn't help but think about what could be built on top of it. So here is what I call Homestead, a free and open-source homeschool platform for ages 5 to 13. It's built on the open Marble Skill Taxonomy and layered with three learning methods: mastery learning, retrieval practice, and spaced practice. The whole backend runs on @HeyPuter's Puter.js: auth, storage, and AI. Each parent signs into their own Puter account, so their kids' progress, records, and lesson recordings live there, not on a server I run. Features: - Mastery ladder (Topics → Sections → Subjects), each gated at 90%+, with a full prerequisite graph showing what each topic needs and unlocks - The curriculum is pulled live from the open Marble Skill Taxonomy, so when topics are added or removed upstream, Homestead updates on its own and flags the change -Every topic auto-generates a resource pack: direct links into Khan Academy, kid-safe YouTube, BBC Bitesize and Wikipedia, plus hands-on activity and game ideas - Ready-to-teach lesson plans with parent notes, plus low-prep "print & go" worksheets and flashcards - Verified mastery tests, written and then independently re-solved so the answers are trustworthy; digital or printable - Homestead Helper, an AI chat coach for parents, plus lesson recording with live transcripts and coaching feedback - For kids: XP, levels, collectible badges, celebration effects, and a colorful full-screen Kid Mode links below

Following the amazing reaction to the Marble Curriculum yesterday, we've decided to make it open source 🛰️👇 Everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts. 3,221 connections across 8 subjects, from Math and Science to Computing and Life Skills. Anchored in the US and UK curriculums, standard by standard (NGSS, Common Core, DfE). What you will find in the repo: every concept as structured JSON with its age band and the evidence a child must show to master it. Every prerequisite link marked hard or soft, with a written rationale. It's a true DAG you can compute learning paths on. Open license, you can build whatever you want with it. Now is a unique time in history to be building in education. Getting AI and kids education right is likely one of the hardest and most important problems to crack over the next decade and we need as many smart and creative minds behind it. We think a common solid basis, accessible to all and that can be built upon, is critical to move fast. That's why we're making this curriculum open source. It's not perfect but we know it's a robust basis, and we believe that sharing it openly is the fastest way to progress in this field. If you're building in education, share this around you and tell us in comments if you find this useful and if you want to contribute. We'll keep working and investing on it @withmarbleapp. Credit goes to @guillaume_boni for building this. I just made it look pretty. Links below 👇
