@rrhoover Agreed. That is beautifully crafted. So amazing to see people still putting a lot of time into making truly outstanding products like that.
@rrhoover the landing page is unusable on an iPad. Which is a shame, it doesn't fill me with confidence about the care for usability and accessibility in the product.
@drcongo Hi Andy, sorry about that! We're about to deploy a few fixes for the issues you're experiencing on your iPad. I can assure you that the web app itself works great on the iPad, we just have more work to do on this announcement page. Thanks for chiming in!
@drcongo The landing page works fine for me on iPhone and iPad. Desktop experience is definitely the 💣.
@jhartist weird. I'm on a brand new, fully loaded iPad Pro and everything jumps about all over the place when I try to scroll.
Thanks for sharing, Matthew.
Hello everyone, I’m one of the Cofounders and Lead Developer for Pathwright. Four years ago, before Udemy, Skillshare, MOOCs, or iTunesU existed, we launched Pathwright to enable anyone to teach and sell online courses under their own brand. Since then, online courses have become mainstream and our team has grown 3X, bootstrapping the whole way.
Now we’re very excited to announce Pathwright 2. It’s a totally different approach to learning compared to traditional “Learner Management Systems” (LMS) or the newer category of course-authoring/commerce platforms.
A few notable differences to check out in Pathwright 2:
* It's all about the people: With Pathwright 2, our primary goal was to put people first on every screen.
* More like an app than a website: Learning and teaching is an active process (like an app) not just a passive experience of consumption (like a website or shopping catalog). Pathwright 2 works more like an app and on any screen size.
* Radar: As a teacher, you can literally see where everyone is in your learning path.
* Community: We built discussion features designed specifically for learning and teaching, not just a tacked on forum or comment stream.
* Environment: There’s something about a beautiful campus or library that creates a desire to learn in itself. Unfortunately most education software is boring and generic. Our goal with Pathwright 2 was to create a uniquely beautiful learning experience that also gives a unique sense of place and wonder to every learning experience.
* Create projects, assessments, sell subscriptions, and so much more...
I and my other cofounder (and evil twin) @paul_johnson are here to answer any of your questions!
P.S. bonus points to whoever can find the easter eggs 😉
@wmdmark @paul_johnson Checking this out now! Quick question - who designed your homepage - I am looking for a more interactive one for my start-up.
@paul_johnson Great product! Loved the landing page. What technology stack are you guys using? :)
This is awesome. Pathwright is the best learning platform I've used, and the features in version 2 look amazing. Great job and beautiful landing page!
I don't have anything to teach, but want to sign up and make a course just because of how amazing the product looks
Great looking product. Sorry to barge in but I wanted to check if you guys have any discounting for non-profits? I manage tech for an non-profit based out of India Protsahan.co.in We are looking to build learning courses for the kids who work with us.
@taggy Hey Theyagarajan, thank you! And yes we do work with a lot of non-profits and offer discounts! Shoot us an email at hello@pathwright.com.
This is absolutely brillant. Teaching / Learning made fun and intuitive, congrats guys!
Wonderful design and product! What I don't understand is the pricing model - on face, it looks straight forward based on features and number of staff members, but there's this thing about the number of "learners" (or engaged learners) for each plan. Is there a fee per user? And if so, what's the pricing?
@webjoe Hi Joseph, thank you! Good question. There's a low fee for more engaged learners than are already included in a plan and that fee gets lower at higher volumes. At high volume, it's negotiable. You can see this by selecting a plan and using the "reserve more learners" option. Thanks again for the kind words and for the feedback.
Congrats on part 2! I love this new approach.
While seeking out a course builder or online school builder there are more than a few out there from self-hosted and built with WordPress to other similar to Pathwright like Teachable where everything is all-in-one kind of like a Squarespace experience. Problem is that I truly do care about the people (been in customer support for more than 4 years) and all of them seemed filled with features that focused on building the school or course and less on what goes on inside.
That is until now with Pathwright 2! I just signed up and look forward to putting together a few courses.
@byderekj Hi Derek, thanks so much for the kind words. We're making Pathwright exactly for people like you who want to teach *people* not just publish a bunch of passive content to make passive income. Many of our educators make a very good living teaching but those also seem to be the ones that care the most about who they're teaching.
Trying it out now for a management class we're running in our company. So far it's both feature-rich and simple. Team is very responsive too.
Wonderful knowledge sharing platform for building fully customized courses for niche learning. Congrats on launching v2! @wmbmark @paul_johnson
