Can I vibe code Teachable?
Host and sell online courses with checkout built in.
For a single creator selling their own course, the platform tax buys you convenience, not magic: video hosting, a lesson list with progress, and Stripe checkout are all commodity parts now. A vibe-coded course site — videos on a host you control, lessons gated behind purchase, progress saved — is a weekend build that permanently ends the $59/month meter. Marketplaces and cohort features are where the equation changes.
Build a single-course sales and delivery site. Public: a landing page with curriculum outline, testimonials section, and Stripe Checkout for a one-time price. Private: magic-link login for buyers, a course player with modules and lessons (video embed + markdown notes per lesson), a mark-complete button with per-student progress, and a course-complete screen. Admin: a protected page listing students and completion rates. Webhook-driven access on successful payment, Stripe customer portal for receipts. Next.js + Postgres, video on Mux or Bunny, deployable to Vercel.
A course site: landing page, Stripe checkout, magic-link student login, module/lesson player with video embeds and completion tracking.
- Hosted video pipeline (you'll use Mux, Bunny, or unlisted embeds)
- Coupons, affiliates, and upsell machinery out of the box
- Compliance handled for you (EU VAT etc. — solvable with Stripe Tax or a merchant-of-record)
- Quizzes/certificates unless you build them (this site is proof you can)
Creators mid-launch don't want to own uptime or edge cases during their biggest revenue week. Platform reliability is what the fee actually buys.
A prompt is the first move, not the whole game. Course 01 teaches you to take a prompt like this one to a shipped, working app — reviewing, correcting, and steering the agent the whole way.
