I built UniCheatSheet, an academic website that organizes notes, worksheets, PYQs and solutions in one place for exams. I eventually turned it into a paid product.

This course teaches you the model behind it, so you can build your version for your college.

I worked this out by trial and error over nearly two years, from October 2024 onwards, and got plenty of it wrong on the way. These are the lessons I’d give myself at the start.

My results. Not a promise of yours.

October 2024

I had the resources. I just wanted them all in one place.

Before a maths midterm, I built the first version of UniCheatSheet for a problem I had myself. That part took a night. Working out what made students keep using it has taken every semester since.

What I built that night was five buttons over the resources I already had. Everything worth teaching came from what happened next.

One semester later, every student on campus was using it.

The idea is simple. Making it work isn’t.

Putting notes, PYQs and solutions on one website is the easy part. Getting students to actually use it, come back to it, and eventually pay for it is where the real decisions begin.

This is about decisions, not syntax.

The video lessons break down those decisions in the order I faced them, and they cost nothing.

Worth building if

You notice problems.

You want real users.

You'll actually build.

You're willing to learn as you go.

Questions.

Is the course really free, and where do I watch it?

Yes, genuinely free — every lesson, in full, with no signup, no email and no account. Watch them right here on this page or on the public YouTube playlist; they are the same videos either way. Nothing on this page unlocks them, because nothing locks them.

Then what costs $19?

The Starter Kit, and only the Starter Kit. It's the Implementation Kit — a reusable template built on the same architecture as UniCheatSheet — plus a walkthrough of about fifteen minutes showing what to change and where. It is not the videos, and buying it does not unlock anything on this page.

What exactly is the Implementation Kit?

A working template, not a tutorial. It's set up the way UniCheatSheet is set up, so what you change is your university, your subjects and your resources — not the structure underneath them. The walkthrough shows you which files those are.

Do I need to know how to code?

You don't need to be an experienced developer. The lessons are about product and distribution decisions, not syntax. Building your own version still takes real effort — the Starter Kit is there so that effort goes into your university's content rather than into the structure underneath it.

Will I make money from this?

No guarantees, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I can hand over is what I built, what actually happened, and the decisions behind both. What you get out of it depends on your campus and your execution.

Why not just work this out myself?

You can. I did — it took nearly two years of trial and error, and plenty of it was wrong. The videos are that ground already covered, mistakes included, and they cost you nothing. The Starter Kit only saves you the rebuilding.

Is this only for engineering students?

No. It applies wherever there's a recurring academic-resource problem and a concentrated student community.

What language is it in?

The video lessons are taught in English.

I bought the Starter Kit but nothing arrived. What now?

Email me with the order ID from your payment receipt and I'll sort it personally. Check the spam folder of the address you gave at checkout first — that's where it usually is.

Anything else? Email me.

Every college has a problem everyone complains about. Almost nobody is first to fix one.
