About

I'm the CTO at Prolaud, a platform for educators who want to run live classes and sell their courses from the same place, on their own domain. Most teachers end up stitching together a video tool, a payments page, a spreadsheet of students and a folder of certificates. We put all of that behind one student record, then made the rest modular: degree programs, proctored exams and academic records are plugins you turn on when you actually need them, not clutter you pay for on day one. My side of it is the engineering: the live class stack, the plugin architecture, and keeping a room of 200 students from falling over. Before Prolaud I spent years in full-stack JS and product work, mostly in edtech. Happy to talk to anyone building for educators, or fighting with live video at scale.

We launched Prolaud today. Tutors and course creators, tell me what confused you

Prolaud went live on Product Hunt a couple of hours ago, and I'm here all day replying to whatever comes in.

Some context: we ran online classes for a long time with four tools taped together. A video app for the class, payment links pasted into WhatsApp, a Google Sheet for who had paid, and a design tool for the certificate. Prolaud puts the live classroom inside the course platform, and the storefront sits on your own domain.

Today I'd rather hear what tripped you up than collect compliments. Open prolaud.com cold and tell me where you stopped reading, or what you'd need to see before moving your students over.

If you teach anything online, one more question: which tool in your stack would you drop first?

We launch on Tuesday. Tell me what's confusing before strangers do.

Prolaud goes live on Product Hunt on 6 October. Before that I'd like a few honest eyes on it.

prolaud.com is open. If you have two minutes, open it cold and tell me the first thing that made you hesitate. A word you didn't get, a page that loaded slowly, a price that felt off. Small stuff counts.

I'll reply to every comment and fix what I can before Tuesday.

Live cohorts or recorded courses: which one pays your bills?

Prolaud started with live teaching because that's what we were doing ourselves. Recorded courses came second.

My guess at the trade-off: live gets better completion and lets you charge more, but it eats your evenings. Recorded scales, but people buy it and never open it.

Tell me where I'm wrong. If you do both, what's the split for you right now? And if you had to drop one, which goes?
