   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

   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.

    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

    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 upsid

    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 selecte
