Show HN: Simple, collaborative learning (opens in new tab)

I like the idea of creating lists of learning resources and tracking progress in these lists. I'm a bit confused though: is that actually the main purpose of the site? The About page also mentions learning with friends and sharing results with potential employers. Maybe that could be made clearer on the homepage and the "easily learn any topic" could be removed.

You're right, the UX could use some work. Could you move the "Add resource" below the list of resources? Initially I also didn't realize that there's a difference between "Edit profile" and "Edit account".

When I clicked the "Add resource" button nothing happened (Chrome on OS X Lion).

As an idea, maybe there's a way to suggest the next resource in a list to the user?

I'm a long time HN lurker, and wanted to show a side project that I recently started working on that I think has some merit.

If you're an avid learner who is working on lots of different topics at any given time, as I know most HN folks are, you know that keeping track of what you are learning, the resources (books, tutorials, articles, courses, etc), and your progress along the way is difficult to do. LearnTribe solves this problem by providing a social way to organize and track your learning efforts.

I'd especially appreciate some honest, but constructive criticism about the concept and implementation. Note that the site is lacking a real design treatment (mood, colors, logo, etc) and needs a look at UX. I'm hunting for a design partner to take the project to the next level.
