Hello everyone!
I’m really liking the helpfulness of this wonderful community here and I was hoping that you could provide some feedback for me.
I created a website that aims to enable students to collaborate their notes with each other and hopefully this would enhance their learning and help them become better doctors, pharmacists, engineers and etc.
Right now, the site is done the beta, but I still feel that it can be improved upon. So, I was wondering if you could provide suggestions and constructive feedback on how to improve the site. I feel that this would really help students succeed.The site is here: Share notes
Thanks again everyone
