I would like to make an additional recommendation. In the beginning of the course, Peter suggests several VSCode plugins that are very helpful. However, I believe the TailwindCSS plugin should also be added to the list, not as a “nice to have plugin” but as a “must have” plugin.
Why “must have”? Because if you don’t, the code in future lessons is likely to break if you have Format on Save enabled for VScode. More on this here:

Thanks for the suggestion! I agree that the TailwindCSS IntelliSense extension is very useful indeed!

Hello all,
TL;DR
I finally finished the course. The full thing.
My opinion of the course if very positive. In the end, I did end up with an MVP, its not the most beautiful thing in the world (still learning tailwind), but it does the job.
I can honestly say, I totally recommend this. You will learn a ton, even if you are not new to Elixir (my case).
Favorite Parts
I must say, the topic that I liked the most was the author’s knowledge of free resources, such as undraw, tailwindUI (free version) or heroicon.
The topic where I learned the most was definitely with the payment section with LemonSqueezy and Ngrok. Turns out the courses uses a bunch of auxiliary tools. I am not sure if it possible for 1 person to be proficient in all of them, but the basic knowledge we are given sure goes a long way.
Extra things I would have liked
I would have liked some additional homework/exercises, but this is honestly something very minor.
The author also mentions alternatives to some of the tools, for example, GumRoad instead of LemonSqueezy, which I would have liked to know more about (specially because they adapt the price of the course to your country). In fact, if not for GumRoad’s price adaptation, I would have been able to buy the course.
Some insight into testing would have also been interesting, as it is obvious Peter is very knowledge.
I understand however this would have inflated the course’s runtime, but here is food for thought (maybe next time? 
)
Extra selling point
I will say I encountered several difficulties. For example, I never managed to get one of the tools, ElephantSQL working properly. You may think this is bad, but I am telling you this because this prompts up another important selling point: Peter Ulrich.
Upon sending a PM, he was extremely helpful, and suggested another solution to replace ElephantSQL, Supabase, which I am now using and I am very happy with.
Peter is very friendly and helped me when I asked, this is something I cannot say of everyone (sometimes authors do not have the time to help customers) but the fact Peter made the effort is a strong selling point for me.

Wow @Fl4m3Ph03n1x thank you so much! I’m very happy that you find my support so valuable. In fact, I set up a Discord server for all course participants where we share questions and suggestions and I believe that improved the support quality even further

Regarding the switch to Supabase, it’s basicly just using their connection string, instead the ElephantSQL one, right?

By the way: Feel free to showcase your MVPs in this thread
I’m really curious to see what you all are building!

Hey there. Sorry about that! Could you try this link please? It “should” run, at least I just tested it:
