FailGuru

Project Overview

FailGuru is a modern learning-from-failures platform that allows users to create, manage, and share life lessons so others can learn from real stories instead of only theory. The app includes a rich home page with featured lessons, learning benefits, embedded motivational video content, and social proof via detailed reviews. Users can browse public lessons with category and emotional tone context, and premium content is highlighted for advanced, deeper insights into career, relationships, and mindset. A pricing and plan section showcases lifetime premium membership, while FAQ and newsletter sections make the product feel like a complete SaaS-style platform for continuous growth.

Key Features

  • Built a full-stack life-lesson platform where users can add personal lessons, browse public lessons, and manage their own content from a dashboard.
  • Implemented a lesson system with title, long description, category, emotional tone, author info, date, and stats like likes and bookmarks.
  • Designed a featured lessons section that highlights top community lessons with free and premium tags, making discovery easy for new users.
  • Created a dedicated learning benefits section explaining why learning from life matters, including brain health, opportunities, and well-being highlights.
  • Embedded motivational video content directly on the homepage to keep users engaged and inspired to think big and grow.
  • Showcased detailed user reviews with names and 5-star ratings to build trust and social proof for the platform.
  • Added a pricing/plan experience that clearly states lifetime premium membership and cancellation options, giving a SaaS-like product feel.
