π¨ Build an engaging interactive programming course π₯ Embed executable code snippets, codepens, figma designs, and more π° Sell your course directly to your audience and earn money from your programming knowledge.
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!
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!!
