I built a Learning Management System with Django

I created this project back in 2020 during COVID lockdown but haven't published it online yet.

During that time I was creating courses on Website Design and Development with HTML, CSS, PHP & MySQL, Software Development with C# and databases like MS SQL Server and Oracle. And all of them were free on YouTube.

Also the only revenue source was YouTube Ads revenue which was not much (since very few people watch programming videos), and I also tried selling courses on Udemy but it was also not much ($3-$5 after taking their cut).

So I wanted to create my own platform like Udemy or Skillshare where I could publish my premium courses and sell.
Thus I started building it using Django framework in Python as it was the fastest and secure way to setup the project.

But unfortunately at the end of the project development, I found out that there was no international payment option like PayPal or Strip in our country, Nepal.
And without it there was no way to accept payment from international students, also I need to pay for the services like Domain and Hosting.

So I stopped working on it though it was on the final stage.
And it's already been 4 years.
Though I've not published it, I wanted to share it with you hoping it could be helpful to you.
