Show HN: Watch Stanford CS Lectures Together

Looks really interesting. Could possible be something like facebook live or insta live where you could still have prerecorded stuff available through links as well and have live comments based on time stamps through the lecture videos.

I'm working on something like this right now. Shoot me an email if you want to chat: brett@mindstamp.io

I also created something similar. People were really interested at first. But we learned after sometime that people loose interest when learning with strangers. We could not retain people after a week of sign up. Although this is bit different so might work. Good luck to people who created this.

Nice work! :)

I think you just made me realize the value a lot of people get from twitch (and even YouTube, to a certain extent). Which, as a bit of a text fascist, I've had trouble grasping / not really been interested in.

From the love (young) people have for live media/streams - and research into the negative effect of recorded vs live, in person lectures - it seems obvious that "twitch for lectures" will be huge.

Probably not something I'll like any more than unscripted TV series, but probably still huge.

Then again, I do seem to relate to chatting on irc while watching regular scheduled TV (like a buffy episode).

So I do see social/group-interactive viewing as something that'll be great.

Even see this working for stuff like video courses in 3d/game design, development - like an art class. The video is the lecturer, and you can see what 3d models/apps/.. your fellow students create (and how). And maybe even copy/"fork" in real-time.
