An open catalog for the notes that worked.

Skoodocs is the simplest way to find lecture notes, exam guides and revision briefs other students wrote, used, and passed with — and to get paid for the ones you write yourself.

What we do

Skoodocs is a public catalog of student-written study materials — lecture notes, exam guides, condensed summaries, problem sets and revision flashcards. Authors deposit what they wrote; readers search, preview, and check out what they need. Authors keep up to 80% of every checkout, paid daily via Stripe.

We don't generate content. We don't grade anyone. We give every document a shelf, a call number, a price tag and an honest review system, and then we get out of the way.

Why we built it

Every semester, somewhere on every campus, the same two things are true: a few students take exceptional notes, and a few hundred students go looking for them at 11pm the night before a final. The existing fixes — group chats, Discords, pirated PDFs in shared Drives — are unreliable, untracked, and don't pay the people doing the work.

We thought a small, focused catalog could do better. Pay the authors. Show real previews. Let the community filter for quality. Stay out of the academic process itself.

What we believe

  • iStudents should be paid for the work they've already done. Sharing is generous; selling is sustainable.
  • iiPreviews aren't optional. You should be able to see what you're buying before you buy it.
  • iiiThe community knows which notes are worth it. The platform shouldn't pretend it does.
  • ivSubscriptions are a tax on people who don't need them. Pay per-checkout, full stop.
  • vAcademic integrity belongs to your institution, not us. We provide study aids — what you do with them is your responsibility.

How authors earn

Open a deposit account, connect Stripe in about three minutes, upload a PDF, and set a price. From there it runs by itself — readers check out, Stripe takes its cut, you keep up to 80% of what's left, and we settle to your bank account daily. No minimum-payout threshold dance, no months-long holds.

Author rates start at 70% for new depositors and rise to 80% as your circulation grows. The full schedule lives in your earnings desk once you're set up.

How we keep quality up

Three mechanisms, in order of strength: previews (you see the first pages of every document before buying), reader reviews (any buyer can rate and write a review after checkout), and our moderation queue (we remove anything that breaks the rules — see our Terms).

We don't pre-screen documents. We respond to copyright takedowns fast, and repeat infringers lose their accounts.
