Co-founder of Instil here. Here is a bit of backdrop.

We started Instil after finding out that many classes have gone live after the lockdowns began. It seemed to us that the live classes are here to stay and we should make our move to adapt to the changing paradigm.

We wanted to not just build a software solution, but also a community platform with a gallery. So here we are a few months later!

This is very much an alpha product so any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks!

This is cool. Just signed up, but your courses list should be public. Right now it requires a login. Kind of lame.

Thanks. Noted and we will implement this ASAP.

Thanks. I just sent it out to 500 not realizing they couldn't access the course landing page.

Implemented! It should be publicly accessible now. Not the best implementation, but we will improve this shortly.

We plan to make the profile page public as well. Thanks for your feedback again :)

Looks great! Any specific reason for choosing Stripe standard connect over express?

Thanks.Both fixed cost per connected accounts and liability of chargebacks. We may switch to express based on how we go.Apart from that, we will be supporting PayPal soon though.
