I love the product so far as a student. Great idea that you took some inspiration even from GitHub, see the activity monitor of people, it's like commits on GitHub. If you check Discord or Slack, you can get further inspiration from how some people format `text` with [markdown](https://dillinger.io/) without pressing buttons. Some communities also have chatbots that gamify experience further, e.g. promote people based on activity to get access to further goodies, or e.g. in case of crypto, they get data from some API and post alerts people are looking for. I don't yet know how easy it'd be to create courses. Course creator experience is in my opinion where ambitious startups like Educative in the tech niche have some catch-up to do (or I'd just have to hire someone to format my course material and be prepared to replace them from time to time when they quit). To get this right, you'll need to see what it feels like to upload Uplevel Consulting content and maybe take some interactive notes that require formatting, some tables here and there, some formulas or some embedded widgets (maybe custom html+css+jss embed to link external forms, pages etc). As I've created courses on Udemy, Teachable, Educative, Skillshare, Moralis Academy, Sitepoint, and I've gone through the publishing process of multiple tech publishers, I know how tough or easy the publishing process can be. Now I'm mainly working on my own school, but even there, I was picky with the platform. Skool is better than Slack, because it looks more organized and can deliver training with table of contents (let alone calendar, calls, whatever you need). Facebook is like a dinosaur now. One problem you most likely won't be able to solve with a small team yourself is marketing + legal/compliance. However, we often take make or buy options, and I am sure if you have enough paying members, service providers specializing in creating VAT-compliant payment gateways will give you an offer that you can build in the price. Payment processing is unfortunately a non-negotiable for me that locks me to Teachable whatever you do; unless I invest in legal compliance myself as a content creator.
