Show HN: Build and sell truly interactive in-browser coding courses
Unlike existing solutions of embedding iframes from different code execution services, we have built the whole system from the ground up - allowing the course students to work inside a powerful in-browser editor solving code challenges.
This will enable you to create highly interactive courses on virtually any topic.
Want to teach people solidity by running a local blockchain inside the browser? Possible. Want to teach React.js and evaluate if they passed specific tests written in the react-testing-library? You got it. Want to build a Python course with numpy and other data science concepts having in-browser practice? You got it. Need support for Rust or Golang for an excellent course you have in mind? You got it.
I've been learning as a programmer since I was 13, and the interactive elements I saw on sites like codecademy and freeCodeCamp inspired me to develop a platform to create and sell my interactive courses. So I did that on codedamn.com.
After building and selling tens of interactive courses via codedamn (we do close to $3000 MRR on our in-house courses), we're now opening this platform for other developers to come, build, and sell their interactive courses without worrying about underlying practice infrastructure.
You can add videos, labs, quizzes, and markdown enabled articles as individual course items at the moment. Some important information:
- You get the ability to host your courses on your custom domain under your branding. - We do not make any revenue from your sales right now. Yes, our fees is 0%. (except for fees charged by Stripe) - You get a free *.codedamn.dev subdomain for hosting your courses (claim at the time of registration) - All sales happen via Stripe. - All creator payouts will happen via Stripe too.
Interactive learning is the future. I'm looking forward to all those developers out there share their knowledge with others and make money building one of the best courses online. Happy to hear any feedback you have!
