You're right, the blog talks about one thing, the product does another thing.
The reason I conducted those interviews was that I wanted to understand the good intentions behind instructors who I disagreed with, especially instructors who put an extraordinary effort to change things(even when it was unpopular). That's how I started to understand the strongest arguments for mandatory attendance, and a synchronous learning experience. That's also how I learnt first-hand that the key incentives problem "what's the reward for teaching well at a research university?"
Having said that, through talking to other students, especailly the busy ones, who live off campus, have a part-time job, and via my experience, I understand first-hand the need of efficient options that don't require commuting and waiting. explanations.app is async. and remote for that reason. There are lots of existing async remote options, but they are textbased. I hope providing a visual async remote option, means that it can attract students who genuinely wants to learn things properly but also efficiently.
