What you get
Every feature, grouped by who it's for.
Core
- Video + transcript + repo, three-pane side-by-side player
- "Open in Cursor" / "Open in Claude Code" buttons per lesson
- Live repo link tracks `main` of the actual shipping product
- Per-module exercise with one expected diff to land
- Always free — no email gate; quote-tweet unlocks Discord
- Lifetime updates (courses follow the live product through breaking changes)
- Mobile playback for video, desktop for exercises
- Resume-where-you-left + per-step diff progress
Agentic-first (MCP + token)
- courses_list — enumerate courses + modules
- courses_get_module(slug) — full transcript + repo HEAD context for a coding agent
- courses_fork_repo(slug) — provision a sandbox fork wired to your GitHub
- courses_grade_exercise(slug, diff) — server runs the expected test, returns pass / fail
- courses_subscribe_updates(slug) — webhook when the upstream live product changes
- OAuth bearer scoped mcp:courses, same shape as foundr-run
Solo-founder-shaped
- Every course <2h, one build, one shippable artifact
- "Fork-and-ship" CTA — finish the course → your fork is the v0 of your own product
- No quizzes, no certificates, no 29-module sprawl
- Course retires the moment the live product retires (kept honest by CI)
- Each course has a public "last shipped against commit <sha>" badge

Why this differs
The angles the incumbents won't ship.
- 01
Free by default. One quote-tweet = the full library. Every premium competitor is $99–$795.
- 02
Each course = a currently shipping product. Not a synthetic toy SaaS that rots when Stripe changes an API.
- 03
Repo is the source of truth. `git clone` the live production repo, not a frozen course branch.
- 04
Agentic-first — courses readable by Claude / Cursor via MCP. Your agent can take the course alongside you.
- 05
One-build focus, under 2h. Opposite of 12h "complete bootcamp" sprawl.
Competitive landscape
Who's already here, and what they leave on the table.
Honest comparison. We do not pretend the space is empty.
