Hey this looks really promising! I'm thinking about making an intro to SQL course with my own spin on it. I went ahead and signed up as an author and have had a couple of issues so far:

1. The first time I clicked the magic link in the login flow took me to another login prompt. I re-entered my email but got a warning that I was requesting another link too soon. I went back and clicked the link again and was logged in right away.

2. Once logged in I see an empty page at https://app.slip.so/author - there is the side nav, but nothing in the main well.

3. I did notice a couple of console warnings around cookie attributes: Cookie “__tld__” will be soon rejected because it has the “SameSite” attribute set to “None” or an invalid value, without the “secure” attribute. To know more about the “SameSite“ attribute, read https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Set-Cook...

I was also wondering for the SQL course if it would be feasible to stand up an in-browser sqlite database via sql.js and/or make an API call out to a service to stand up a database for student use.

Congrats on the launch and keep me post if this could be a viable course for your platform!



An additional first-run issue - after I got logged in (two links to do so?), the dashboard loaded. I click 'Add Course', and I get a box that says that happened, but no row on the course table. A reload shows the course created.


Yeah, we have an open ticket for that :) i think a better flow would be to just take you straight to your course when you click add course


Hey Reilly, we're looking at the cookie/registration/login flow issue rn.

we plan on adding support for sql courses :)


This issue should be fixed now! You may have to clear your cookies


Confirmed I was able to login directly from the email link and the cookie warnings are gone. I did see a brief flash of the login screen but then was immediately redirected to the app. Thanks for fixing this. Also I am able to create courses now, but that was fixed earlier.
