Show HN: I Turned PG's "How to Get Startup Ideas" into an Interactive Course

3 points by hedayet a day ago

Most startup education is passive - you read essays or watch videos and hope the lessons stick.

But real learning happens through practice and decision-making, not just content consumption.

So I took Paul Graham’s classic essay, "How to Get Startup Ideas," and turned it into a 5-minute interactive course. Instead of just reading about how to spot good ideas, you make decisions like a founder — choosing between ideas, reflecting on user needs, and building pattern recognition.

Early feedback has been encouraging:

"I loved this!!! This was so fun to take." - ex-Google founder

"Simple but so effective! They really made me think." - corporate research analyst

It takes about 5 minutes to try. Would love any feedback on the format, UX, or value!
