I think I've seen a similar notes sharing platform before. What's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Most notes sharing platforms are marketplaces where the website makes a commission every time a seller transacts with a buyer on their platform (eg StuDocu, Nexus Notes, notexchange). As noteslah is completely free-of-charge, we rely on contributors to share royalty-free notes to the public, while beneficiaries can download these notes free-of-charge.
We hope that by creating this by students for students platform, used study notes will regain its value and become upcycled.
