pleb.school Platform Overview
pleb.school is an open-source, self-hostable learning platform built for Bitcoin and Nostr communities. It blends a traditional LMS with decentralized content and peer-to-peer payments.
Why self-host?
- Own your user database, pricing, and moderation rules
- Customize branding and UX without touching code
- Choose the relays you publish to and read from
- Avoid vendor lock-in while keeping content portable
What makes it different
| Traditional LMS | pleb.school |
|---|---|
| Centralized content | Content published to Nostr |
| Platform fees | Direct Lightning payments |
| Locked-in data | Portable, signed events |
| Single login option | Nostr, email, GitHub, anonymous |
Key features for admins
- Drafts and publishing to Nostr
- Zap-based purchases with receipt verification
- Admin-only content management and analytics
- Config-driven theming, copy, and navigation
Shared vs local
- Local: your users, pricing, drafts, purchases, admin rules
- Shared: Nostr content and profiles (discoverable across instances)
If you want a platform that feels like a modern LMS but runs on open protocols, this is it.
