Your courses, your source
Write lessons in Markdown or MDX and organize modules in YAML. Your content, layouts, and components live in a repository you control.
Open source. MIT licensed. Yours to own.
Turn what you know into a course site you own.
StratoLMS is an Astro-first course-selling kit for creators. Write in Markdown and MDX, sell with your preferred payment provider, and keep control of your content, code, and infrastructure.
No software subscription. Optional paid help when you need it.
Everything between your first lesson and your first sale.
Content authoring, course commerce, and access controls in a kit you can inspect, customize, and self-host.
Ready for course commerce
Connect Polar, Lemon Squeezy, or Stripe for checkout and signed webhooks. Learners receive signed access links to their purchases.
Protected paid lessons
Paid lesson pages render on demand through a shared access gate. Build checks keep locked lesson bodies out of static output.
A complete learning experience
Course catalogues, curriculum navigation, free previews, transcripts, lesson resources, and browser-local progress are included.
Video on your terms
Use YouTube, Vimeo, Mux, Cloudflare Stream, Bunny Stream, or self-hosted video. Optional signed media adds access-controlled playback.
Built for coding agents
Generated projects include agent instructions, authoring workflows, and structured CLI checks. Public content ships with Markdown twins and llms.txt.
Make the site your own
Start with paper, slate, or ink. Configure design tokens and page layouts, eject components, and add editable source-copy features.
Choose your infrastructure
Deploy with Node.js, Cloudflare, Vercel, or Netlify. Optional D1 or Postgres storage enables cross-device progress, an owner dashboard, and xAPI delivery.
Your next course starts in your terminal.
The setup wizard configures your site, hosting adapter, payments, and optional features. Replace the example course with your own lessons, then run the content checker before publishing.
