I'm working on an idea for an app that helps people study together by instantly connecting them based on their uploaded study materials. The main features I'd like are a camera interface for seeing the other user, a whiteboard for taking notes, and a chatbox for communication.
I'm curious if there's already a service like this available. If not, what would be the best way to start developing such an app?

This idea is awesome! While there are elements like study groups and tutoring apps, an instant match based on uploaded materials doesn’t seem to exist yet. To build it, you'll need a backend for indexing topics from uploads and a frontend with video and a shared whiteboard. Starting small with tools like Firebase and open-source whiteboard libraries could be a great way to test your concept!
There are a few tools out there like StudyStream and Discord study servers, but they mainly focus on gathering users rather than matching them by study materials for collaboration. Your idea seems unique and could fill a gap!
Exactly! The instant matching is key, but it would require a lot of users to be available at the same time with their materials uploaded digitally. Proving the concept helps in validating the idea before investing too much time and resources.
