## History

[edit]

Study Notes began as a way for the founder to share his Advanced Placement notes with his classmates.[3] But it grew to include the notes of his classmates as well, covering three courses: AP English, U.S. History, and U.S. Government.[4] The tool currently supports seven AP courses.

In 2014, Study Notes began offering a database of sample college essays for prospective college applicants to use for inspiration during their essay writing.

## Open Source

[edit]

Study Notes releases the custom software which powers the site on GitHub under the GNU General Public License version 3, for anyone to learn from and contribute to.[5]
