Registering is technically free though at the moment a little pointless if not purchasing though not in the future. Once registered the sales page has the current price on it.
But it is all a little clunky :(
It is mentioned in a few places but Critically not the register page for reasons... for today.
Due to a really bad UX design people merging from the presale hit that page and I didn't want to confuse them. Once the majority of people have done I will put the price back more clearly on that page.

A background process then updates Email Octopus which I use for email marketing and Freeagent for accounting.
At it's heart Lessons and Modules are a custom post type and taxonomy respectively. The Lessons make heavy use of patterns to keep a consistent look and theme.
Learners progress is tracked via "learners_meta" which is modelled on the othe WP meta tables.
The irony, was I have been debugging caching issues in my purchase flow as I forgot that the caching was looking for WordPress users when it looks to bust.

So wpsecurity101.com uses @auth0byokta.bsky.social to provide an authentication and session management.
Awwwh Thanks Ross, really excited to launch on Thursday.
