LearnHub
Scaled to 10,000 users in 6 months
Built a complete online learning platform with custom course builder, student progress tracking, and video streaming capabilities.
The Challenge
LearnHub approached us with a vision but no technical foundation. They needed to compete with established platforms while staying within a startup budget.
Their existing solution was a patchwork of third-party tools that couldn't scale. Students complained about poor user experience, and instructors struggled with clunky content management.
They needed a custom platform that could handle video streaming, course creation, student tracking, and payments - all while delivering a seamless mobile experience.
The Troothy Solution
What We Designed
We created a dual-interface platform: an intuitive student portal for course discovery and learning, and a powerful instructor dashboard for content creation and analytics. Every flow was optimized for conversion and engagement.
What We Built
We developed a modern web platform using Next.js and React, with a custom video streaming solution that reduced hosting costs by 60% compared to third-party services.
The backend featured real-time progress tracking, automated certificate generation, and integrated payment processing. We implemented smart caching to ensure fast load times even for video-heavy courses.
What Made It Unique
- Custom video player with adaptive bitrate streaming for smooth playback on any connection
- AI-powered course recommendations that increased engagement by 35%
- Drag-and-drop course builder that made content creation 3x faster
- Mobile-first responsive design with offline course downloads
