Welcome to the \b[OurBigBook Project]! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for #STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free #STEM tutorials ever.

\b[Everyone] is welcome to create an account and play with the site: https://ourbigbook.com/go/register[]. We belive that \b[students themselves can write amazing tutorials], but teachers are welcome too. You can write anything you want. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. https://docs.ourbigbook.com/\#ourbigbook-com-policies[Just keep it legal]!

We have \b[two killer features]:
\Ol[
* \b[https://docs.ourbigbook.com/\#ourbigbook-web-topics[topics]]: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" https://ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus

  Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
  * a #Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
  * a <#Q&A website> like <#Stack Overflow>, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad

  This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

* \b[https://docs.ourbigbook.com/\#publish-your-content[local editing]]: you can store all your <#personal knowledge base> content locally in a https://docs.ourbigbook.com/\#ourbigbook-markup[plaintext markup format] that can be edited locally and published either:
  * to https://OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
  * as HTML files to a <#static website>, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
  This way you can be sure that even if http://OurBigBook.com[] were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
