I have thought about making a course on Udemy or Pluralsight. Did you consider those options before building your own? I am curious because I don’t think I have the skills to create something as nice as you did and also would like to know the pros and cons you discovered.
Yeah I did consider those but didn't like the revenue share model. I think if you create a course you should keep the majority of the revenue.
I'm building an alternative for programmers to build and sell interactive courses directly to their audience.[1]
One thing I realized from the vim course was people loved the interactivity part. (you can check out a video of the lesson authoring tool here[2]).
It's currently just a lot of work to build something that looks nice, setup stripe, setup hosting, setup the interactive components, setup remote code execution, etc. I'm abstracting that away so people can focus on content creation and marketing/selling the course instead.
