@harisahmad59 @X Hi

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

@buildinpublic My WordPress LMS plugin is ready.

This week I’m turning the "it works on my machine" version into something I can actually put in front of course creators: a website, launch, demos, and early feedback.

Getting close.

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

If you create courses for clients, I’d love your take too.

Does a cleaner editor help you focus, or do hidden tools make things harder to discover?

Reply A or B, and tell me why.

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

I’m building an LMS and testing two course editor ideas.

A: tools always visible.
B: tools appear only when needed, like Notion.
I built B today. Video below 👇

Course creators: A or B?

Building an LMS in public, and I'd love your take.

How does this look to you? Anything you'd change or add?

I'd be grateful for every reply, even the critical ones. Your words shape what I build next

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

Most LMSs ship a solid editor. The experience around it is what matters.

So I rebuilt that in my LMS:

Full-width writing → Tools only when you ask → A settings panel that opens where you last left it → Dark mode

How does it look to you? I'd be grateful for your feedback

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

The trigger: I wrote a course description in my own LMS as a creator, not as the developer.

My first version: settings took up a third of the screen, the toolbar covered my words, and the font-size picker was blank.

Same editor underneath. Not good enough.

#LMS & #EdTech community: Is #AI actually improving course creation?

Course creators, educators, coaches, trainers, EdTech teams, #WordPress devs & LMS agencies:

What AI features save you time? What feels like a buzzword? What’s missing?

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

Course creators: which WordPress LMS plugin are you using right now, and what made you choose it?

I’m currently building an LMS of my own, so I’d love to hear what you like (or hate 😅) about the tools you’re using today.

What’s the one thing you wish your LMS did better?

Debugging a slow #WordPress REST endpoint is usually guesswork.

So I built a free, #opensource tracer: every hook, SQL query & outbound HTTP call inside a request — nested, timed, streamed live into wp-admin.

Flame graph + interactive node-map views included.

Exploring #NativePHP time to make some desktop apps with #PHP for personal use.

[Rafi Ahmed @rafiahmedd]

Waiting for NativePHP, could be a huge game changer.

Building an ORM system from scratch is so enjoyable. It just took a day to add all basic features into it and still adding new things to it. So far now all the features working, and it's fast and optimized
