finally someone is taking a big swing in this space! The current tutorial-ecosystem for devs kinda sucks. Want to learn something? You've gotta watch a long youtube video that chucks all the knowledge at you fullspeed, or take a 30 hour coursera course that gives you way more than you need and skims over the details, or you have to hit your head against verbose docs that scare away novice devs. I believe the bottleneck is that while there's tons of smart devs out there, its difficult for them to produce and distribute engaging content that helps spread their knowledge. If you make it 10x easier to produce/distribute the stuff already in a devs brain, you could accelerate the world via education. This could even go to enterprise. Most tech companies have the notable "expert [pick ur language] dev" that just knows way too much about a certain thing. You could enable this dev able to produce, maintain, and benefit from internal courses that educate their peers across the org instead of publishing cryptic README files files that go stale after a month

@morriscode @kennethcassel +1 for "I want to use this to make internal courses to onboard new devs" (and would pay a monthly subscription to do so based on the number of courses)

Hey everyone! I'm Kenneth, founder and CEO of Slip. Slip is a platform that makes it incredibly easy to build and sell interactive programming courses. We're currently in the YC S21 batch. And we have been iterating hard on building the best tool for programming courses. We're a team of two people. Me and our first engineering hire @kyrelldixon. We empower devs to earn more from their knowledge passively. We also help their students get the best learning experience from a programming course. Why I made Slip: I launched my own programming course in January of this year called https://www.vim.so and I made $11k in my first month. It only took me 3 days to build it. The reason it took me 3 days to build it is because I had leveraged a lot of code I wrote for a previous coding tutorial platform. I quickly realized that many other developers probably have some knowledge they could teach and generate thousands of dollars with that knowledge, if it were easier to do it. What you can do with Slip: With Slip, you can build a course with an easy to use tool which lets you embed executable code snippets, React/Vue/Nextjs/Node environments, videos and more. We handle payments, auth, hosting, and more, so that you can focus on the thing that matters. Making great content. On the marketing side we help authors by letting them do a presale and generate money before they commit many hours to making their course. I did this same thing with vim.so and the early financial win made a huge difference in me taking the course creation seriously. We have tons of ideas on how to make Slip better in the future but we're excited to get it out in front of y'all today!

@kyrelldixon @kennethcassel This is huge, congratulations! I’m really excited for this platform, and if/when I finally build my long-planned course on SQL I know Slip is the platform for me. Love the new presale functionality in particular. Massive congratulations to you, Kenneth!

Hello, looks neat! Have you considered open-sourcing the platform so non-commercial projects can host their own instance to protect the data? The advantage of cloud would be not having to care about server and having an option to make money out of the courses.

@meldiron We may do that at some point. Haven't decided one way or the other yet.

While I love the direction - am I the only one who believes it wasn't ready to launch?

I am continuously impressed by the production quality at Slip. The new platform is INSANE, and I love everything about it. So excited to see the Product Hunt community to finally see what you've been building lately. Huge recommendation to Kenneth and the whole team at Slip. Be sure to check them out if you're looking to launch your first programming course!!

@jimmy_bisenius Dang Jim this means a ton coming from you! I'm glad you dig the idea. We have so much to learn and hoping to learn even faster now that the app is free to start building in!
