    Hi,

    I commented on the original post but I suppose it got buried [1].

    This product looks great, just wondering what kind of computing power is available to teachers for the interactive coding examples. Can it handle machine learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) for example?

    Congrats (again) to the founder on the launch.

    Are there any similar course builder tools that allow you to "fake" the language? I'd like to make a course for Papyrus[0], the scripting language used for modding Fallout and Elder Scrolls games but there is no runtime for this language outside the game and it wouldn't really make sense running it that way anyway... (So basically just verify the entered code matches some kind of "template" but with tolerance for different new-lines, indentation, variable names, etc.)

    Hi! This looks really cool, as someone also working on a platform for interactive programming courses (https://codeamigo.dev, mentioned in this thread as well) I just want to commend you for the beautiful layout and design execution. Congrats on launching and best of luck!

    Are there any examples courses that give a glimpse of how a finalised course looks like on this platform?

    No free plan for free courses? That would be useful for open source projects.
