Question: from the video I get the impression that this platform can handle only ONE course, is this right? Still a very nice implementation, good interface work!

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes that's right. Is multi-tenancy something you'll like? If it is, I can start working on this next week.

I was excited until I realized the Courses weren't open source. Ah well. xD

It looks nice for its purpose. Congrats on launching. :)

Of course multitenancy [1] is a nice feature to have for every web based software, however I just wanted to clarify if it was possible to use your product if one has more than one course to offer.

It's designed for just one course at the moment. I'll add support for more multiple courses later, but at the moment no, you can't sorry.

I meant I thought it was a project to encourage people to build & deploy open source courses on a platform. :)

Yes I'm working on that. And it will also be free . Not sure how I'll monetise that though.
