A community-driven study platform that gives students free, no-login access to past papers, exams, assignments, labs, notes, and full solutions.
Our role: Fullstack Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Web Designer
uNotes is one of our own products: a community-driven study platform and a free alternative to Chegg, CourseHero, and StuDocu. Students get instant, no-login access to past papers, exams, assignments, labs, notes, and full solutions — free and open, with no ads.
Today uNotes serves 10,000 monthly active users drawing on a growing library of 100,000+ user-uploaded documents.
The whole library is contributed by students, so it keeps growing on its own. Search and filtering make it easy to find material by school and course.
We built uNotes with Next.js and TypeScript on AWS, owning the infrastructure and DevOps so the platform stays fast and reliable as the community and its document library grow.
Beyond the web, uNotes ships as apps for Mac/iOS, Android, and Windows, with offline support so students can keep studying anywhere.
Proof: Google Search Console, unotes.net
SEO was a deliberate workstream on uNotes: programmatic school and course pages, clean crawlable document routes, structured data, and a sitemap that keeps up with a library students grow themselves. The Search Console export below is the result over the last twelve months.
Google now shows uNotes about 79x more often than it did a year ago (9,990 impressions in the first four weeks on record versus 793K in the last four), and clicks from search grew from 2,371 to 10,380 over the same two windows. Impressions lead clicks: the library is being found for far more queries than it ranks first for yet, which is the next lever.
