CourseLit

CourseLit is a modern, open-source learning management system for creators who want to sell courses or digital downloads on their own branded site. It positions itself as a self-hosted alternative to platforms like Teachable or Thinkific, while still offering the essentials for running a small education business. The project includes course authoring, student management, a site builder, custom sales pages, and payment handling via Stripe. Because it is open source, teams can audit the code, customize the experience, and host the platform on their own infrastructure. If you want to own the full learning stack and avoid platform fees or constraints, CourseLit is a practical foundation with an active public repository and documentation.
