Turns out only I used this 😅 But.... it's definitely kept me accountable! Down 10+ lbs and on a 16 week running streak with a trail marathon I'm feeling ready for in April. I've repurposed Pairform into a personal AI powered running coach that has access to my fitness data, can help me create training plans/workouts, and provides automated coaching insights & reminders along the way. It's surprisingly good. Continually a work in progress, but because I have some sort of disease this is of course a real tool you can sign up for: pairform.io

plus, it is extremely fun

if you have just a touch of tech skills now you can make personal software that does exactly what you need i am very down for this

example: pairform.io my entire workout history now lives in my own DB and Claude can plan my workouts and prep me for races.

Enterprises can have strict requirements to onboard a training vendor. They may throw terms at you like: LTI, SCORM, SAML, SSO, xAPI, RBAC.... 🤯 But for technical trainers using CourseStack, we handles these enterprise needs for you! You focus on building great content - we'll help you meet the needs of sophisticated orgs so you can grow your B2B business.

Every financial journalist seems to be shouting about how we’re in a datacenter bubble. The bears say that OpenAI and Anthropic are burning money, and that AI isn’t adding real economic value. It reminds of how people attacked Google in the early days because it didn’t have a business model (we all know how that turned out). I would argue that: 1. Nobody is going back to traditional search. We increasingly demand the intelligence, reasoning, and analysis that LLMs provide. This requires inference compute (in addition to massive amounts of training), which requires datacenters. Insatiable demand for compute is here to stay, and it’s going to keep compounding for decades. 2. OpenAI has captured consumer intent far beyond Google Search. Monetization is only a matter of time (they are slowly rolling this out, but I expect it will quickly become one of the world's greatest businesses). 3. If you want to demonstrate economic value from AI, look no further than the world of programming. Talented programmers were previously one of the world’s most finite and expensive resources. Now, 100 of them live in my Mac’s terminal in Claude code. Me and my companies are pouring tens of thousands of dollars into Claude credits each month because it’s finally delivering real, economic value—doing $200,000 of human work with $5,000 of AI tokens. This is about to ripple through the entire economy, delivering GDP growth, massive amounts of innovation, and empowering everybody to build. Ignore the noise. LFG. (Keen to hear from the bears 🐻)

18 months ago @lemonsqueezy joined Stripe to create the future of Merchant of Record. We moved fast and went heads down. That also meant, we got quiet because we were heads down building the next chapter. I shared a candid update today on what next. 👇

For me, the hardest part of sticking to something is being held accountable. Coaches absolutely work, but they can be expensive and overkill. I know what to do, I just need a little bit of someone watching over my progress to make sure I do it. Pairform is a project I built for myself and my wife to help us stick to our goals. I've been surprised at how much I actually keep tabs on it! Since new years resolutions are right around the corner, I thought I should open it up to everyone! Let me know what you think :) P.S. very much "beta" - probably slow and buggy producthunt.com/products/pairf…

Reflecting on 2025 and... SaaS is hard! 😅 You have to *constantly* improve your product and prove your value to customers.

I'm sure our customers will keep pushing us in surprising new ways to help build the best place to build and teach technical content. What will you build on CourseStack in the new year?

[New Feature] - Code Playgrounds Display and run code inline with your course content! Code Playgrounds are lightweight, entirely browser based coding sandboxes complete with a code editor, rendering, and output console. These are a fantastic way to let your students work with smaller snippets of code without needing a full fledged Code Workspace. Here’s what’s new: ▶️ Edit and run code right in the browser Give students editable examples and exercise inline with course content 🔠 Chose from dozens of popular languages like Python, Ruby, C#, C++, Javascript, and lots more 💸 0 credits required Code Playgrounds are totally free to run We can't wait to see what you build! 🚀

[New Feature] - Dynamic Flags & Launch Scripts You can now create dynamic, per-user or per-team flags for CTFs, exams, or courses. No more shared answers, each participant gets their own! To support this, we’ve also introduced system Launch Scripts with variable replacement, letting you tailor the system environment on launch. Here’s what’s new: 🔐 Unique flags per user, team, or attempt - perfect for assessments and CTFs ⚙️ Launch scripts with replacement variables like {{ launch_user_id }}, {{ flags.flag1 }} 📦 Scripts run when the image boots, letting you inject flags or configure the system dynamically.

There are a lot of great learning platforms out there. But the all have the same problem.... They're only as good as the content they serve! This is especially true with deeply technical, hands-on content - it's some of the toughest to build. At CourseStack we're continuing to invest heavily in making sure our customers can build the best content possible. Expect to see a lot more updates like this in 2026!

Bedrock LLM Access is Live! 🚀 Give students powerful, cost controlled access to LLMs via AWS Bedrock. Details about the update in comments!
