Great idea. I’ll let Emeralize know this feedback. Thanks!

Not yet. Reviews would be a nice feature. Would lack of reviews prevent you from using it?

It’s a website where you can sell digital courses and eBook’s for sats. https://emeralize.app/

The way to fund your new zapping habit is by creating and selling a course on Emeralize.

“And indeed, the very moment the old man [Phineus] touched his victuals, at once, like bitter blasts or lightning flashes, suddenly out of the clouds they [the Harpies] sprang, with a raucous scream, dove greedily down on the food.” ―Apollonius of Rhodes

“Like a mighty pine tree high up in the mountains which woodcutters left half-chopped by their sharp axes when they went down from the forest, and at night it first shakes in the wind-blasts, but then topples over, broken off at the base; just so for a while did he sway from side to side on his unwearying feet, but then collapsed strengthless with a thunderous crash.”―Apollonius of Rhodes
