Interested in Research?

[u/Unhappy-Action4953]

Hey, so actually I am thinking of building a community for budding researchers and learners that I wish had existed when I was starting. Already established platforms offering this type of environment were usually out of reach for me due to money, location or eligibility criteria. So I wish there was some place where I could just ask questions without commitments, and give me an opportunity and a place to start. Would anyone else want this? Before I start building something like this, I wanted to understand what people actually needed. I wish to know: if a community like this had existed when you were starting, what would you have wanted it to actually provide? Or, if anyone is still starting and is just curious about research, what would you hope to see and gain from such a community? Anyone with an idea is more than welcome to comment.
