I've had this idea in my head for a while that organizing education by courses and "subject" tracks is a weird inefficient way to do it.

What I think would be better is members only online forums that curate a list of great resources and then have learning guides that can help you define your next challenges and find the right resources to solve them.

I think it would be cool to base an MVP on NodeBB, but it's going to require me to learn about how NodeBB is structured and write widgets. So, I thought, why not do the first learning club about something that can help me build the platform?

Would anyone have any interest in joining a club whose sole focus is building widgets? Would any NodeBB Ninja have any interest in getting paid to run said club? 100% of revenue would go to the instructors.
