Rationale
Thinkific is a platform for creators to build and sell online courses, communities, and other digital learning products. While it offers features for creating and managing courses, it does not directly provide expert-led courses or live interactive workshops in the same way Frontend Masters does. Instead, it provides the tools for others to create and host such content. It does offer features like unlimited courses (akin to an all-access subscription for the creator's content), curated learning paths, progress tracking, on-demand video courses, team plans, certifications, code-along exercises (through SCORM), multi-device access, skill assessments (quizzes/exams), and responsive support. The core difference is that Thinkific is a platform for *creating* learning experiences, not a direct provider of them.

I've been using Alternative A for 6 months now and it's been fantastic. The pricing is much better and the features are actually more robust than what [Product] offers.
Show HN: We built a better [Product]
Hacker News·startup_founder·5d ago·+89
After struggling with [Product]'s limitations, we decided to build our own solution.
It handles edge cases much better and the API is actually documented properly.

[Product] vs Competitor B - which one should I choose?
Reddit·confused_buyer·Dec 8·+67
Honestly, after trying both, Competitor B wins hands down. Better customer support, cleaner interface, and they don't nickel and dime you for every feature.
Why we migrated away from [Product]
Hacker News·cto_mike·Dec 5·+234
The breaking point was when they changed their API without notice. We lost 3 days of productivity. Solution C has been rock solid for us since we switched.
