Chapter is a new way to learn directly from busy thought leaders. Join a creator's chapter to get weekly content drops with the best stuff they read, watch, and listen to. Then ask them questions like you're texting with a friend.
Hello Product Hunt!
After college, quality learning opportunities are hard to come by. Bootcamps and accelerators are cool, but only if you can go months without income or you're willing to pull all-nighters.
😩 Problem
Online education was supposed to change the world, but so far it kinda sucks. Premium courses are super expensive ($500-1,000 in many cases) and take a ton of time. The affordable stuff is pre-recorded, packed with ads, and gives zero direct access to the creator.
🧠 Solution
Start from scratch and build a learning platform tailored for the internet. And make sure it doesn't feel like school.
Chapter is like buying a piece of someone's brain: we invite thought leaders to curate the best content in their fields, and they set aside time to answer your questions.
💸 Money
Chapters are typically $20-50 for each 4-week course. That's about the price of a book – except with a chapter you get direct access to the author, plus a community for accountability and discussion.

I love it - technology that builds connection & community, rather than divide and conquer. It's like a conversational MasterClass on a wider variety of topics w/ each influencer.
Thanks for all the comments, everyone! I wanted to share a little background on what we used to make Chapter. It started out as a daunting project for me, as it was a transition from being a mostly mobile-engineer, to owning the full stack.
The tech stack we use is Django + django-q + PostgreSQL on the backend and Vue on the frontend. For hosting we're all AWS: S3, EC2, SQS, route53, and using elastic beanstalk to deploy.
By far my biggest headaches have been around setting up staging vs prod environments, automating our deploys as much as possible, and just general subdomain/SSL issues. Would love any comments people have for frameworks or tools they've used!
