Feature Requests

Hi Maven Analytics Team, I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share some feedback regarding my learning experience on your platform. I’ve been working through your courses, and while I greatly appreciate the quality of your content, I’ve been struggling with retaining theoretical concepts effectively. As a Technical Product Manager, and from my experience with other learning platforms as a geek user, I’ve found that certain interactive tools significantly improve my long-term retention and understanding. Specifically, the following features have been invaluable to me: 1- Interactive Video Transcripts: The ability to click on any part of a transcript to jump to that section of the video helps me revisit complex topics quickly without scrubbing through the timeline. 2- AI-Powered Learning Assistant: Tools that can summarize video transcripts, generate bullet-point notes, create mind maps, and offer on-demand explanations help me break down dense theoretical material into manageable, memorable pieces. 2.1 "Explain Like I’m 5" (ELI5) Toggle: An AI feature that can rephrase complex theoretical explanations into simpler, real-world analogies. Since data analytics often involves abstract concepts, having an option to switch between a technical explanation and a simplified analogy would bridge the gap between understanding and memorization. 2.2- Practice Exercises Tied to Theory: For theoretical modules, adding a short, interactive "drag-and-drop" or "label the diagram" exercise immediately after the video would help convert passive watching into active application. Mind maps generated by the AI could serve as the basis for these interactive exercises. 2.3- Visual Knowledge Maps: A dynamic visual map that shows how theoretical concepts connect to practical applications (e.g., connecting "Normal Distribution" to "Outlier Detection in SQL"). Being able to see the "why" behind the theory helps create mental anchors that make the information stick. 3- Flashcards: Built-in spaced-repetition flashcards allow me to actively recall key terms and concepts, which is crucial for moving information from short-term to long-term memory. 3.1- Spaced Repetition Integration: A system that automatically prompts me to review specific lessons or flashcards based on the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve. Even a simple "Review this topic?" notification a few days after completing a module would be game-changing. I’m a huge fan of your platform’s focus on practical, hands-on skills, and I believe that incorporating these kinds of memory-retention tools, especially for the theoretical portions, would make the learning experience truly world-class. Thank you for taking the time to consider my suggestions. I’m happy to provide further feedback or beta-test any new features aimed at improving knowledge retention. Best regards, Mohammad Hamdy, Technical Product Manager, drmuhammadhamdy@gmail.com

Is there a way to get daily progress on a lesson I already completed? We only get daily progress credit on lessons we have never done before. I often like to do a lesson or complete course multiple times to internalize the concepts.

As I go into any lesson, it would be good to know if (unread) comments exist so that I can click on them, vs needing to click in to see if there are any

The Power Query, Power Pivot, and DAX course is well structured and delivered clearly. However, I would recommend adding a dedicated section focused specifically on comprehensive data cleaning. The current material only covers basic transformations and does not fully equip learners like me with the skills needed to perform data cleaning independently by the end of the course.

Dear Creator. I hope this message finds you well. My name is Oussama Amdouni, Founder of INOPS Analytics, a data-focused initiative centered on structured analytical education and capability development. I am currently developing a structured learning roadmap titled “The INOPS Data Analyst Foundation Program.” The purpose of this program is to guide aspiring data analysts through a clear, curated progression of high-quality resources to eliminate the confusion many beginners face online. During my research and preparation, I found your content to be exceptionally clear, valuable, and aligned with the level of depth I aim to provide to students. Your work stands out as both educational and practical. I would like to request your permission to include and reference specific videos from your channel as recommended learning resources within this structured program. To clarify: • I will re-upload, and redistribute your videos. • I would direct students to your original YouTube content via official links. • Full credit would be clearly provided. • Links to your channel and related resources would be included to drive visibility and traffic back to your platform. The goal is to build a structured pathway that guides students toward high-quality material including yours while adding additional assessment, projects, and portfolio-building layers around it. Thank you for the educational value you contribute to the community. I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to your response.

Hello, It would be great if you could introduce course work on Databricks. Thanks,

I would like to suggest starting new guided projects that help people learn how to use AI features inside the tools they already work with. Tools like Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft Power Platform now include AI capabilities such as Microsoft Copilot, but many users are not fully confident in using them in real work situations. By creating simple, hands-on guided projects, we can show practical ways to use AI in daily tasks, increase adoption, and help teams get more value from these tools.

Aaron, Good evening. I hope you are doing well. I have paid the monthly invoice pro subscription that was in due, but I haven't been able back to access to pro subscription. Please, let me know if there is some issue with my pro account subscription. Thank you for your support, follow-up, and assistance. I look forward to your response. Thank you very much.

For Power Query tutorials perhaps you could include some tips on efficient sourcing of data? While the direct data sourcing options within 'Get Data' are extensive, I'm thinking that for efficiency and speed it's probably best for Excel/PowerBI to primarily import data from .csv files in folders which have been created by external SQL procedures run on a daily or perhaps more regular basis? This also might make the solutions more portable for testing and perhaps also resilient to occasional database downtime. Broadly I'm asking for tips on how to configure the general environment in which our projects run, to have the best chance of success. Thanks for your consideration.
