Best tools for building technical course site
Hi all, trying to crowd source the easiest way to build a technical course (+ keeping ownership). Sort of features I'd be interested in are easily creating diagrams (UML/System), code snippets (maybe even runnable code), auto-prettiness, creating quizzes and imbedded comments...
Any suggestions would be appreciated, or is this an unsolved problem?

With the Leanpub self-publishing platform you can format books and courses with Markua, a Markdown dialect focused on creating books. For courses Markua supports exercises and quizzes.
How are you running the courses and managing the content today? If you're using Google Drive, would you be open to chatting w/ me?
I just launched Kbee. Kbee lets you build a knowledge base straight from Google Drive. We got some feedback from early users that Course Creators may want to take advantage of what we're building to deliver their content in a way that is easy to update and lets you keep ownership of your data (in Drive).
Would love to get your feedback and see if this is something you'd be interested in exploring. happy to offer an extended Pro membership free of charge in exchange for your feedback.
@darrelladjei this is exactly what we're building with CourseMaker
Here's live example of the lecture UI, where you can easily add markdown, code snippets, Math (as TeX) and diagrams are coming very soon.
Launch is in January.
Hey @darrelladjei, by keeping ownership do you mean ownership of the content or ownership of the platform where you're hosting the course?
If it's the former, there are a number of platforms. @PaoloAmoroso listed two; additionally there's:
Thanks for pointers, looking more for text-based courses an alternative to educative.io for example.
By ownership just mean keeping all revenue.
Why is ownership and issue on educative? Thought you have full rights over the content.
