Hmm not seeing this on my end! Did it happen on a certain page?

Not yet! We're still very early days but will have some courses published soon :)

Definitely think there is a path :)

Think of the economic value of leveling up millions of engineers!

A more top down approach would be to just look at competitor revenue in the space. Udemy, Coursera, etc. Multiple companies doing multiple hundred millions of revenue per year

vim.so is what I built prior to Slip. It wasn't built on Slip

1. In the works 2. We'll improve this 3. We'll do this too :)

Rn there is support for a handful of programming languages. We're going to add repl embeds which should unlock more language functionality and let you teach a puppet course.

You decide pricing but we will give feedback on our thoughts on the price you pick. The marketplace is a curated one, so we'd have to approve it.

Yeah we experimented a bit with this idea but the overwhelming feedback we kept getting is that devs wanted help with distribution more than they wanted to host a course on their own site.

There were a few bugs! The auth/login bug should be squashed :) You might have to clear your cookies and log back in

On the landing page, a few folks told us that the buttons for signing up are showing up as white blocks on safari. We're looking into those.

Manual review by our team rn :)

The text portion is tiptap.dev!

Yeah we’re hearing that more and more lately! Definitely think there is something there

we don't have image support yet but are going to add it very soon! We're using the https://www.tiptap.dev/ as our markdown editor and haven't added the image functionality just yet.

We plan to let authors create some free content too :)

We removed it! That was a relic from the old landing page

Collaboration is an interesting idea but hasn't been requested yet. import/export has been requested a lot and will most likely be added at some point.

love the idea on code formatting/linter/spell checkers

Thanks pete! it was great going on your pod :)

This issue should be fixed now! You may have to clear your cookies

The code execution snippets work in Python3 and JS. You can make React/Next.js/Angular/etc courses via Stackblitz/CodeSandbox.

Thanks Joshua! Yeah we don't have support for it quite yet! But plan on supporting all kinds of really neat dev workflows for courses :)

We use Stripe Tax to calculate the taxes but we have to remit them ourselves since Stripe doesn't take care of that side.

yeah the .com wasn't available lol

I'll have to look deeper into the video playing issue and why that's not working.

Going to remove the example button. It's a relic from the old site/system.

We're a couple month old startup with 2 folks :) the upside is that we're super responsive to customer feedback and can fix things a lot faster than a giant corp

Yeah, we have an open ticket for that :) i think a better flow would be to just take you straight to your course when you click add course

Hey Reilly, we're looking at the cookie/registration/login flow issue rn.

we plan on adding support for sql courses :)

Yeah we can probably add something like that soon. Right now we're a tiny team (2 people!) and we're pretty focused on just making our product better and helping existing users.

I can see the value of showing how we are differentiated though!

The author maintains ownership and can sell the content on other platforms if they want. I'll make a note to add this language into our ToS

not crass at all! People who want to get paid for teaching valuable knowledge should get paid.

We have a presale feature available for select authors that we think are promising. We're going to formalize the process for getting selected soon but in the mean time a good way to gauge interest is to try and promote the idea of your course to any type of audience you might have. An email list is a decent idea for gauging interest

Q1) Right now, we're manually approving/denying courses for publishing based on a subjective quality bar. Our aim is to be more of a premium course marketplace for career developers.

Q2) Ah yeah we have a ToS, i'll add it to the home page rn. It's still evolving.

Q3) Yup we want to help more developers realize they can be teachers. Figuring out how to better take a dev from Never teaching -> Making money while creating real progress in their students, is a big goal

love this framing. yeah i hope we can help the next 100 Wes Bos' learn that they can teach programming online while earning a great living.

The time-barrier is just really high right now to make an awesome course.

We don't support Paypal (yet?). We payout via Stripe.

You can't import/export yet but do plan on adding that

Nope, that's unintentional. I'm not able to see your gif. But if you let me know your browser/OS/device I can take a look and fix it :)
