Here's the truth, plainly. I build software from the middle of Golden Isles Lake in Florida. Some weeks I spend more on the tools and compute for a big build than I spend on myself — I'll skip a meal before I skip finishing something I believe in. I'm not telling you that for sympathy; I'm telling you because it's the reason this prototype exists at all, and the reason I'll see the real thing through. I finish what I start, and good work pays for itself.
I'm a lifelong student. I'll die a student. school.com is the front door to the thing I love most, and it's been quietly parked for twenty years. I'd never demand you change it — your placeholder is a little time machine, and there's something honest about that. But it could be a door. One button on it opens a river of high-intent traffic — and a real business behind it.
01
The front door
A living directory of every school, program and course on earth — searchable the way parents and students actually think. The demand is already there; it just needs an address it can spell.
02
The honest compare
Tuition, outcomes, real graduate salaries — side by side, without the noise. The decision of a lifetime deserves better than forty open tabs.
03
The open classroom
Courses and certificates that start the same afternoon someone starts searching. Curiosity to first lesson in one click — and a scholarship engine underneath it.
Everybody wins — and yes, that includes us.
A school.com done right is a business and a public good. It sends the highest-quality education traffic on the web to the schools that earn it — that's the revenue, and you keep it. A slice funds access: scholarships and free courses for people who can't pay, which is the kind of thing an address like this should do. It's not charity instead of profit — it's profit that happens to open doors. That's the version I want to build, and I'm all in on it.
