Not OP but, if CodeStories is supposed to be an education platform similar to the Github Classroom, why is the landing page selling a Python course?

Might be easier to understand by example: I'm a user that is interested in education platform, so I land on CodeStories website (because of your comment I thought that's what it is about). I see that the landing page is instead selling a Python course => I get confused and close the page thinking that I landed on wrong page.

Ah, right. That makes a lot of sense. Similarly to what I mentioned in the parent comment, CodeStories as a “platform” isn’t ready for market yet. It’s feature complete enough that I or one of my teammates can easily use it to teach a class. But the instructor side of things needs another layer of polish before an MVP would be ready to sell to teachers.

To be clear, all of our external communication for the past couple months (outside of this conversation, which is primarily about the platform) has been about InPyBio, the Python course.

Even though the separation between the platform (CodeStories) and the platform’s first course (InPyBio) is clear to me, there could obviously be clearer communication about this distinction on the site.

^this right here
