My advice to you: Mark each course as beginner/intermediary/advanced and the required background knowledge assumed. As people have very different levels of experience. Take some course in learning how to teach.
I think you didn't go through a few courses. Many of those are actually better than whatever you can get from other places

Why are you talking like this?
I do not care that much but all this user's comments sound like they are unprofessional / 10 years old. Careless commenting to everything while trying to promote a product that's already rather broken.
I think this person is exhibiting symptoms of prolonged conversation sessions with LLMs. Maybe this is how they talk/shout/scream at the AI, which has no emotions, and gladly accepts this tone of speech.

Unfortunately, I dont think you can run the tests on your own machine.Tests run on jude0, which takes about 20 GB of RAM to run
So what's the long term plan? If tests require a bunch of ram, scaling costs seem at odds with "Free Forever". Will you eventually have a pay walled tier? Or will you seek donations to pay for infrastructure or... I like the idea of a community FOSS or source available offering, I have a lovely pile of ram from the before times (when it didn't cost an arm and a leg).
I am looking for sponsors and have already spoken with a few companies.

I've helped people get into programming face to face and also in a site I liked called exercism which also had a multi language track unit test passing style which I really value and it was purely command line, and I can't stress enough how important the command line is for me for people who want to dabble. Nowadays it's easier to get people into the command line because of Claude/codex. I only have browsed your site…
I've also trained over 100 students in Python back in 2021, when Python was often looked down upon in academia for not being a low-level language. My belief has always been that if someone learns one programming language properly, they can pick up another in no time.I've seen beginners spend months going through 300-video YouTube playlists just to learn JavaScript. People don't need 300 videos to learn a programming…
Got it. Different audience. Cool stuff. I'll take a better look as soon as I can.

bots are hitting tons of endpoints bro. You can keep using the platform as guest
I would recommend removing "bro" from your lexicon, at least how you used it here. It comes across as aggressive and immature. Not a huge deal, but you'll get better results in life without it.
I would also recommend you not lecturing other people and posturing as if your superior. The way you said it puts yourself above him and is condescending to him directly. You don't lecture strangers this way so why do it here? It's because you're protected by anonymity. You know what you say can piss people off but you say it here because the consequences are minimal.
It's ironic because an outside observer sees what you say as reasonable and mature but that's just posing because the statement only appears that way because they are not the subject of said statement. To put it simply, imagine you went to your boss and politely asked him to "Please be more mature when talking to others, it will make your life better."
Do you actually think saying that will improve your boss's life and make him thank you for such advice? No. It incites more conflict because of the condescension.
And here's the thing. You're perfectly aware of this on a certain level. Everyone is on some level. They say it because they WANT to be condescending, and at the same time they are unaware that they want it. It's subtle but I'm doing it too, right this instance.
A better way to say it is: "Hey, no offense, but personally when someone says the word bro to me, I personally don't like it, if makes me uncomfortable. I'm happy to have this discussion but I don't like that word. And that's just me" This statement removes the condescension and statements of immaturity and advice about his life.
Anyway I'm saying all of this to you to tell you that I AM being 100% condescending to YOU because I SAW what you said and it was completely obvious to me how directed and deliberately condescending it was.

I noticed the courses are tied to a language, any reason behind that design choice vs keeping it language agnostic and letting users choose their preferred language?
