Brilliant.org Shutting Down Community : DataHoarder
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Timetm). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
Brilliant.org is shutting down the community section where for years users created public math and science problems and discussions on July 2, 2021. There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of unique community created math and science problems with solutions and discussions. It wasn't a homework question site. It was for serious learners and professionals, covering topics from basic algebra to graduate level mathematics and physics. The community section has been slowly being phased out by brilliant in favor of their paid courses section. See the community list here or a specific problem here.
Current users can login and download a dump of their created problems, solutions, and discussions, but that doesn't preserve a public database of all the content. To see solutions you need a (free) account, so archiving these may be difficult.
