Built a education platform with Aider?
We'll make it production-ready.
Education platforms serve a uniquely vulnerable audience — often students, sometimes minors — and handle sensitive data like academic records, progress tracking, and payment information. AI tools can scaffold course pages and quiz interfaces fast, but the access controls, content delivery, progress tracking accuracy, and data privacy protections that education platforms require need careful, professional implementation.
Education Platform challenges in Aider apps
Building a education platform with Aider is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Student data privacy
Education platforms often handle data protected by FERPA, COPPA (if serving minors), or GDPR. Student names, grades, progress data, and behavioral analytics all have privacy requirements. AI tools store this data with no awareness of these regulations.
Content access control and paywalls
Paid courses need reliable access gating — enrolled students see course content, everyone else sees the sales page. AI tools generate client-side checks that can be bypassed by inspecting the page source. Server-side content gating with proper enrollment verification is essential.
Progress tracking accuracy
Students expect their progress to be saved reliably — completed lessons, quiz scores, certificates earned. Losing a student's progress is the fastest way to lose their trust. AI-generated progress tracking often uses local storage or has race conditions that lose data.
Video content delivery
Course videos need to stream smoothly at various connection speeds, support seeking, and be protected from unauthorized downloading. AI tools embed videos directly without adaptive bitrate streaming, CDN delivery, or content protection.
Assessment integrity
Quizzes and exams need to validate answers server-side, prevent answer inspection through browser dev tools, handle time limits reliably, and store results immutably. AI-generated quizzes often check answers client-side, making them trivially cheatable.
Certificate and credential issuance
Course completions often generate certificates that need unique verification URLs, PDF generation, and potentially integration with credential platforms. AI tools build the course but not the credential pipeline that gives completions real value.
Multi-instructor and cohort management
Platforms with multiple instructors need content ownership, revenue sharing, and analytics per instructor. Cohort-based courses need enrollment windows, cohort-specific content, and group features. AI tools build for a single instructor with one course.
What we check in your Aider education platform
Common Aider issues we fix
Beyond education platform-specific issues, these are Aider patterns we commonly fix.
Incomplete security implementations
Aider implements security features in the files it touches but misses corresponding changes in other files — like adding auth to one route but not others.
Partial refactoring across files
Aider sometimes updates function signatures in one file but misses call sites in other files, causing runtime errors.
Git history cluttered with fix commits
Aider's iterative approach creates many small 'fix' commits that make Git history hard to follow and review.
Missing cross-file optimizations
Performance improvements applied to individual files but not the system-level patterns that cause the real bottlenecks.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a education platform with Aider?
Aider is a great starting point for a education platform. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but education platforms have specific requirements — student data privacy and content access control and paywalls — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Aider leave in education platforms?
Common issues include: incomplete security implementations, partial refactoring across files, git history cluttered with fix commits. For a education platform specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for student data privacy.
How do I make my Aider education platform production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Aider-built education platforms, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Aider-built education platform?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger education platform projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
