CAN I VIBECODE

Teachable?

KINDAYou can build the valuable core, but the established product has meaningful operational complexity. Pick one narrow promise for v1.

BUILD FIRST

  1. One specific customer type and one primary use case
  2. A vertical slice that completes the main job without manual workarounds
  3. Visible limits, review steps, and a fallback when an external dependency fails

LEAVE FOR LATER

  1. Broad third-party integrations
  2. High-scale collaboration, syncing, and permissions
  3. Automation that can cause harm without human review

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused replacement for Teachable's core workflow: a creator signs up, creates a course as ordered sections containing lectures (video, rich text, or quiz), sets a price and optional drip schedule, publishes, and students enroll, pay, watch, take quizzes, earn certificates, and track progress. User-facing requirements: (1) creator dashboard with a course builder (add/reorder sections and lectures, upload video, embed text, create multiple-choice quizzes, toggle drip-by-days, set price/free, publish/unpublish); (2) public course sales page with checkout; (3) student area with enrolled-course list, video player, progress bar, quiz grading, certificate generation on completion; (4) basic creator analytics (enrollments, revenue, completion rate). Technical requirements: auth (email/password + OAuth), Stripe checkout and webhooks for payments, video upload with transcoding or signed streaming URLs (e.g., S3 + CloudFront or Mux), Postgres persistence, background jobs for drip scheduling and certificate issuance, and email notifications on enrollment/completion. Sensible stack: Next.js/React frontend, Node.js or Python API, Postgres, Stripe, Mux or S3/CloudFront, Resend for email. Do not copy Teachable's brand, logo, proprietary assets, marketing copy, or UI design; build an original, clean interface. Explicitly out of scope: global tax/VAT/GST remittance, native mobile apps, AI content generation, white-labeling, subscription recovery, multi-currency localization, and marketplace features. Deliver a README covering setup steps, environment variables, seed data, and important limitations (e.g., no DRM, single-currency payments, no offline viewing, quiz types limited to multiple choice).
