CoursePlayer → Video Player for Learners
Remembers speed, A-B repeat, and progress for online courses and tech tutorials
- Problem
- Watching online courses and tech tutorials in general-purpose players is awkward: users must reset playback speed for every video, repeatedly drag the scrubber to replay unclear parts, struggle to access courses on NAS, and interrupt playback when switching windows for notes. Learners need a player optimized for studying.
- Solution
- A cross-device learning player with a global speed setting set once, A-B loop for confusing segments, chapter and timeline thumbnail navigation, per-video progress memory, dual subtitles for language learning, direct WebDAV/SMB playback of NAS courses, picture-in-picture for note-taking, and iCloud progress sync.
- Users
- University students watching online courses, tech tutorial learners, language learners, and NAS course collectors.
- MVP
- Global speed memory (set once, applies everywhere); A-B loop repeat; per-video progress tracking; chapter/timeline thumbnail jump; dual subtitle display
- Revenue
- Free base features; Pro lifetime or annual subscription unlocks NAS playback, iCloud sync, and dual subtitles.
- Why now
- Online courses and tutorials are exploding, yet general players still lack learning-specific optimizations; similar indie products have proven willingness to pay, leaving room for a focused upgrade.
