Organizing tech stack for a membership community:

Just a quick "complaining" update...

I've been incredibly frustrated over the past several years with LMS platforms/services, as well as membership site software (and I've tried them ALL--I'm currently on Thinkific's highest plan).

Problem I think need's solving in this space:

I think more providers (Teachable, Thinkific, LifterLMS, Learndash, etc) need to put a higher priority on the user dashboard.

It seems few of these companies actually think through the UX for the end user--as they're mainly focused on selling to the creators. I can't blame them, but I'd love to see one of these companies come out with an enhanced, minimal, underwhelming dashboard for online courses.

I might have one developed for my own project. :)

    Hey Pete I'd love to chat more about this. I've always been fascinated by the LMS scenes and tinkered with a few ideas, but never seriously attempted to build one.

    I'm around the ATL area if you wanna chat over a cup of coffee.

      Dude always. Maybe email me at pete@doyouevenblog.com and I'll shoot my number for safekeeping?

    Totally agreed. All of the dashboards for these tools are terrible, both for users AND admins.
