Guides
The rest of the docs explain what LearnHouse is and how each feature works. Guides are different: each one walks you all the way through building something real with LearnHouse, end to end.
Every guide is written to be followed top to bottom, with copy-paste commands and code, and is tested against a real LearnHouse instance. Where there’s a faster path, you’ll get a choice: do it yourself, or hand the work to a coding agent.
What you’ll find here
- Build a learning platform — Create your own web learning platform on top of the LearnHouse API with Next.js. You start with a fully anonymous public catalogue, then layer on authentication, enrollment, and progress tracking. Pick the do-it-yourself path or have an agent build it from a ready-made spec.
- Custom features & webhooks — Go beyond the official frontend: authenticate with API tokens, create and query content programmatically, and subscribe to webhooks to react to learning activity in real time.
New to LearnHouse? Start with the Quickstart to get an instance running, then come back here to build on top of it. The guides assume you have an organization and at least one course.
Before you start
These guides interact with the LearnHouse REST API, documented in the Developers → API Reference. You’ll get the most out of them if you’re comfortable with:
- HTTP & REST — the API is a standard JSON REST API under
/api/v1/. - A running LearnHouse instance — local (self-hosting) or Cloud . The examples use
http://localhost:1338as the API base. - JavaScript / TypeScript — the build guide uses Next.js, but the API calls are framework-agnostic.
