Hi Product Hunt. I build a course platform with the live classroom inside it.

We were running online classes with four tools taped together. A video tool for the class, payment links pasted into WhatsApp, a Google Sheet for who had actually paid, a design tool for the certificate at the end. Every month a student's name fell through the gap between two of them.

That is the whole origin story. No manifesto.

So we built Prolaud. You schedule a live class and teach it in the browser. Students buy from a storefront on your own domain. Enrolment, attendance, progress and the certificate all hang off the same student record. We take 0% commission and charge for the plan instead, so payments settle into the creator's own gateway rather than ours.

We launch here on 6 October. Until then I am mostly reading and replying.

One thing I would like to ask this community, since most of you have launched more than I have. Filling out our listing this week I opened the demo account and the dashboard said: published courses 0, total students 0, certificates issued 0, average completion 0%. All correct. All technically honest. And to a stranger it reads as "nobody uses this".

How do you handle that? Seed a demo tenant with believable data, ship the honest zeros, or keep people out of the product until there is something to look at?
