Hey Product Hunt people! So excited to share with you CourseNinja! As the co-founder WebinarNinja, I spoke to our users and heard a frequent complaint- running live coaching and training is a HUGE pain. Coaches need to cobble together sales pages, Zoom, membership software, email software and more to run live courses, on-going group coaching sessions or challenges and bootcamps. It's even worse for the students- chasing Zoom links, not being able to go back to the chat in zoom to access shared links and answers to questions, waiting for recordings, having to login to a different platform to get training materials and recordings. It's a mess! So, a few thousands of hours of work later, CourseNinja was born! It's version 1 at the moment but we believe that CourseNinja has the potential to revolutionize the way people learn online, combining both live and recorded training. We're hoping you'll help to make our launch a resounding success!

@ianwdj Great Q! It was actually the session recording/ replay. It was very time consuming because we wanted it to perform better and different than other live video solutions. - We wanted the session recording to be ready instantly after the session. Like seconds. That way students that missed the start can watch the recording at the end of the session right away. - We wanted the recording to look and feel the same as it was in the live session. Same layouts, and visual changes as the live. Not give you a set layout in the recording. - We wanted the interaction that happen live, to be the same in recording. This meant if the instructor shared a handout at 12 minutes in, the handout would appear the same time at that timestamp. Same with offers, polls, Q&A and chat. - We also have this fun feature in Q&A where you click a button when you are answering a question live on video and in the recording (which is saved for students automatically) students can GO TO ANSWER and skip right to when you answered that question! And a bunch more of little fiddly bits but we nailed it and all the above made it to production!

@ianwdj There was nothing off the shelf that did what we wanted so we did it all in-house! It was worth it :)

@jamesjgill Aww thanks James! Yes, the team has worked super hard 🥲. Very grateful for everyone's efforts, we're really passionate about seeing our members succeed and win 💪.

As someone who runs courses, I love this concept. Do you have the same features as Zoom for the actual delivery / why would I use Course Ninja rather than Zoom?
Omar Zenhom
@steph_clarke__ Thanks for the support and comment! We have way better features than Zoom because we are built for teaching and coaching and not meetings. We do more than just chat- layout controls, uploading your slides so you don't need to share screen, handouts, Q&A with upvoting, offers and more. We also have a really cool feature where you click a button when you are answering a question live on video and in the recording (which is saved for students automatically) students can GO TO ANSWER and skip right to when you answered that question! You can do all the standard stuff too like mute, unmute, camera controls and more.

As a course creator from another platform I’m very excited about what Course Ninja offers. From what I’ve seen It’s a solid platform with everything you need to create , market and sell your course without the hassle of building multiple pages just to get your offer live. Course Ninja gets a thumbs up from me.
Omar Zenhom
@rosspr Thank you! As former classroom teachers, Nicole and I do our best create solutions that puts students and teaching first. Love the support!
Nicole Baldinu
@rosspr Super appreciate your support! And we plan to keep improving and building a great product for our members 😊
Cameron Bogatez
Nice! How is CourseNinja different from other course or membership platforms? Is it just like WebinarNinja but for courses?
Omar Zenhom
@cameronbogatez Hey Cameron! Great question. It's very much like you said. It's like Teachable or Thinkific but for live courses, coaching and workshops! You can add on-demand videos too :)

Great demo in the video above! Adding sessions to the calendar with one click is super cool. I've used WebinarNinja, which offers tremendous value as and fully integrated, end-to-end, solution for webinars. Seems like CourseNinja is bringing the same end-to-end experience to courses. What type of integrations does the platform currently offer?
Omar Zenhom
@elbahnasy Hey Iz! Thanks for the comment :) We currently integrate directly with Stripe, Meta ads, MailChimp, AWeber, Constant Contact, Infusionsoft, HubSpot, ConvertKit, GetResponse, Drip & ActiveCampaign. We also integrate with 2,000+ apps via Zapier. A bunch more are on our roadmap!

There are so many people who want to create courses but dread juggling all the pieces. This sounds like a great all-in-one solution to that!
