The thread

01 Raw material
Greek, Norse and Egyptian myths — stories most people only half remember from school.
02 What I built
An independent learning platform, made alone: courses told as illustrated chapters, with quick checks, feedback, a rune draw and creative challenges. Research, writing, visuals, code, launch and promotion.
03 What it changed

In short

The first course went live on 13 September 2026. In the six weeks that followed, the platform grew to three mythology worlds, and became the home of the Ossetian heritage stories and of Nartamonga — all produced independently.

MIYU stands for “Make it youseful”. The spelling is deliberate.

The product

The real interface.

Learning that reads like a well-set book and plays like a small game.

Finish a course

Recorded on a phone: the last chapter of the Norse course, the rune draw (“Raidho — the road, the journey”) and the course-complete screen.

Editorial chapters

Numbered chapters, drop caps, captioned illustrations. Chapter 4 of the Norse course: “Odin and Fenrir. Wisdom Against Teeth.”

Rune draw

A closing ritual for the Norse course. Draw a rune, learn its meaning — and a line of humour: “The weather forecast was written by Loki.”

Moving illustrations

Short animated scenes bring key moments to life, built for the vertical screen.

AI is used as an instrument, not a co-author. Olesia writes the stories, designs the learning, directs each image and scene, then selects, edits and integrates the results.

Image generation: Chapter illustrations (ChatGPT image generation)
Video generation: Short animated scenes (Kling)
Analytics: Google Analytics 4 — channel and audience reporting
