Most of the website/app is built with homemade components. For some of them, I've leveraged the UI components from Headless UI ( https://headlessui.dev/ ) which is a project from Tailwind CSS.

Then, what feature do you need/want that isn't on this list? Finally, what made you consider looking at another platform if you already have everything you need on others? Thanks for your feedback.

I've just pushed some changes. You can now re-organize: 1. blocks within a lesson, 2. lessons within a section, 3. and sections within a course. Check it out, and let me know what you think.

I agree. It is something I'll look into, supporting more payment methods.

Thanks for your feedback! The tutorials section provides in-depth technical content to anyone for free. In addition, it helps drive organic and relevant traffic to AlterClass so that instructors with published courses can benefit from it. N

You're right. I'm about to add them to the website asap. But, I'd like to emphasise that my goal is to give the instructors full ownership and control over their content, but also give them access to it beyond AlterClass.

Thanks a lot for your message. I'm glad it inspires you. Regarding your suggestion, I may release a course on how to build a SaaS platform using modern dev technologies.

Thanks you for taking the time to try AlterClass using the free trial. I really appreciate it. Q1. I see the Code playground block as a mini code-editor that would give you the ability to run coding challenges your students will have to com

Thanks for your comment and feedback on the marketplace. Right now, the AlterClass marketplace is more a way for people to launch their courses quickly without worrying about setting up their own platform and hosting the content. I won&#x27

Thanks for your feedback. Q1. Yes, the pricing model is something that has been pointing out several time here. I'll think about it and probably open the "Starter" plan as a free tier + the 10% cut. How does it sound? Q2. Pay

Thanks for pointing this. I'm only supporting PayPal for payout for now as I ran into a blocker with Stripe when trying to implement transferring funds to instructors. Indeed, as students can buy several courses from several different

What I mean by that is ownership and access of your course content beyond AlterClass. More coming soon :)

Thanks for the advice and your feedback. For the authentication, I'm using the Next-auth.js library, and what I get from Github is only your Id, name, email, and avatar URL. That's it. Not sure why you've seen "full acce

Right now, I'm focused on online course creation. I've no plan for building a blogging platform. But I do have a blog on AlterClass with in-depth tutorials. If you are interested, I'm looking for guest authors ;) Have a look

I see. Thanks for the update. Having TODOs is not a great experience for the students. If you'd like to list it for free, I suggest you, at least provide a first version of it that can teach something meaningful for the students. And t

Thanks for your feedback. I've tried to be as transparent as possible about the fees on the platform, so that's why I've differentiated between AlterClass cut/fee and the Stripe fees for processing the payments. So when

by gdangelo 5y ago
Thanks for your comment. The payment processing fee is what Stripe charges and unfortunately I can't change anything about it. However, it is very low and I believe it is fair to take it out from the sales amount. In other words, if yo

Running, maintaining, and improving AlterClass is a full time job and it is costly. I'm putting a lot of time and effort into it. The monthly subscription is to help me make a living while helping others with creating and selling bette

Could you please reach out to me from the chat on AlterClass.io so that I can help you with that matter? Thanks.

I invite you to try AlterClass and make your own opinion about it. AlterClass is free for 14 days (no cc required). I'd really appreciate your feedback.

I'm still very early and I'm still experimenting with the business model and how it can fit as best as possible with the instructors needs. For now, I've chosen to have a low price subscription ($9/month) for the instruc

Today, you can launch your course for free, or sell it for a price you select from $9 to $299. However, your students cannot choose the amount they'd like to pay for the course. But thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about it ;

Thanks for submitting your first course, "Building Typescript Libraries". I've received the notification, I'll look into it first thing in the morning tomorrow. Did you submit it just for testing AlterClass or for launch
