Why i built this

In my early days of learning to code and understanding core computer science concepts, I constantly found myself switching between Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, ChatGPT, and VS Code. It was frustrating. At the time, I was working on a very slow laptop with just 2GB of RAM, and the constant tab-switching made the learning experience exhausting and far from smooth.

One day, I noticed a student facing the same struggle. He was learning to code through YouTube tutorials, and every time he encountered an error, he kept jumping between Stack Overflow, Reddit, Google Search, ChatGPT, and his code editor—trying to piece together answers. That moment felt familiar.

It made me reflect on a deeper problem: most platforms answer questions in isolation. Sometimes the solution works, sometimes it doesn’t. And when a learner has follow-up questions or deeper curiosity, the conversation usually ends there.

That’s when the idea for StackWave took shape.

I imagined a platform where developers could ask questions and get answers in real time, not just through static replies, but by collaborating live. A space where both the person asking the question and their peers could code together, debug issues, and understand concepts more clearly—just like pair programming.

There was still one concern: what happens when no one is online to help?
To solve that, I integrated an AI assistant that can step in and guide users whenever peers aren’t available.

That vision—reducing friction in learning, enabling real-time collaboration, and providing always-available support—is what led to the creation of StackWave.

Future Plans

• Add a google OAuth for easy Auth.
• AI Assistant to help in learning
• Scale it to enterprise level.
• A feature where user adds pdf and then they can chat over it, A RAG architecture with vector db to store pdf chunks to vector embedding.
• Most importantly Launch and Promote
