I finally got around to building my own platform. It's Clojure on the backend, self-hosted, and gave me the chance to drop prices significantly since there's no platform cut anymore.
The migration from Podia is complete — all user accounts, subscriptions, and purchases carried over. Existing subscribers had their prices automatically lowered.
Happy to talk about the stack, the migration process, or the courses themselves.
Did you use AI to help code the site?
Some feedback:
- Scrolling is slow. I'm on Firefox. It might be the background image or some other effects?
- Pricing isn't shown in USD but instead in CHF. Not sure whether users would want to go the extra step and do another search to do fx conversion.
