WOW! I made it to the front page. Okay so I posted it yesterday and went to bed. Thank you all for your support an feedback.

When Udemy decided to start charging 50% of every sale, I needed another way to sell my Online Courses.

I looked at a few self-hosted Online Course platforms, but they all wanted a monthly fee + transaction fees, which I think is excessive.

So I started working on Coursify. With Coursify, you can download it, install it and use it without paying.

If you don't know rails, you can pay me a one-time installation fee and you can use it forever without any more charges from us...

I also released it under the MIT licence, so others can improve on it.

Thank you.





I wrote the article on Medium. I was in contact with 2-3 ex-students of that course. None of them received refunds several months after my article (I imagine I received the refund because I started the "movement").


Yeah 2 years ago. I decided to stop commenting on that but yeah that's just one side of that story


It seems the fedora team really wants to do what they can to discredit my project. Ah well
