Node Learn

FAQ

Straight answers.

If something here is unclear or you think an answer is evasive, tell us and we will rewrite it.

The basics

What exactly is Node Learn?

A place to build one good learning relationship at a time. You describe a goal, connect with a teacher, and the goals, tasks, evidence and feedback you exchange live in a shared workspace. It runs on iOS, Android and the web from a single codebase.

Is this a course platform?

No. There is no catalogue, no video library and nothing to buy. A course is at most a temporary path between knowledge nodes — the durable object here is the relationship and the record of work inside it.

How much does it cost?

Nothing today. The MVP has no payments, orders, wallets, refunds or subscriptions, and the platform does not process money between members. Any future plans will be announced before they exist, not hidden in the terms.

What stage is the product at?

Early access MVP. The core loop — sign up, set a goal, match, agree tasks, exchange evidence and feedback, record a proof — works end to end. Realtime messaging, uploads in the client and notifications are still being built.

Accounts and access

How do I sign in?

Three equal options: email and password (with verification and recovery), Continue with Google, or Continue with Notion. All three appear side by side with the same visual weight — none is hidden behind a secondary menu.

Does connecting Notion give you my notes?

No. Notion is used strictly for identity — we receive your name and email, nothing else. We never read your workspace pages or databases. The same applies to Google.

What if I sign up with email and later use Google?

The same email address always resolves to one account. You will be guided to link the new identity rather than create a duplicate. You can unlink Google or Notion later in settings, as long as one working sign-in method remains.

Is there an age requirement?

You must be 16 or older. We ask only for an age band — "16–17" or "18 or over" — and never store your birthday. Accounts below the threshold are blocked at sign-up.

Can I be both a student and a teacher?

Yes. One account can hold both roles and switch between them. Many of the best teachers are also actively learning something else.

Trust and safety

Do you verify teachers?

No, and we never imply otherwise. Teacher profiles are self-described. Credibility is built from a verified email address, work and evidence they choose to show, learner feedback, and consistency over time. We do not run identity checks, licence validation or KYC.

Who can see my work?

Evidence, feedback and messages are visible only to the two members of a learning relation — plus a moderator if someone files a report. Student profiles default to contacts-only; teacher profiles can be set public.

How do I deal with someone behaving badly?

You can block or report any member. Moderators can warn or suspend accounts, and a suspension ends that person’s active learning relations. Messaging is only possible once you share a connection or a learning relation, so unsolicited contact is limited by design.

Your data

Can I get my data out?

Settings → Export my data returns a JSON copy of everything linked to your account. No support ticket, no waiting period.

What happens when I delete my account?

Your profile is anonymised immediately. Messages and evidence files are removed within 30 days. Aggregated proof records are anonymised and retained. Server logs are kept 30 days; reports and audit records 12 months after resolution.

Do you sell data or run ads?

Neither. There is no advertising on Node Learn and no data sale. Analytics never capture message bodies, evidence contents or sensitive information about minors.
