   Thanks, you can also mix and match coding exercises with video, file downloads and text in your lectures. Ha, "free migrations" basically means that if you already have a course on another platform I'll be happy to upload it

    Great read, as usual. One point rubbed me the wrong way: "And you stand an excellent chance of shipping a success -- people greatly overestimate how difficult this is." Do you? Analysis of projects on Indie Hackers [1] casts a bi
