Turn a Markdown file into a live, trackable workshop
Write a workshop as one plain Markdown file and run it live. Students join with a code - no accounts - and you see which step everyone is on: who's stuck, who's done, who needs help. Polls, quizzes, chat and a session report built in. Free, no credit card.
I'm Yaniv, a solo builder. Workshopy.io started with a moment every instructor knows.
You finish a step and ask "can we move on?" A couple of nods, mostly silence. You can't tell who's done, who's still in the middle of the task, and who hit a problem and quietly stopped. I've been on the other side too: mid-task in someone else's workshop, with no good way to say "give me a minute" or "I'm stuck" without interrupting the whole room.
So I built the tool I wanted in both of those rooms:
📝 One Markdown file is the whole workshop. Every # heading is a step, #[quiz] makes it a graded quiz. Write it, paste it from your favorite AI, or import an .md file. Export it back out anytime.
🔑 Students join with a 6-character code. No accounts, no installs, any device.
👀 You see the whole room, live. Who's on which step, who's done, who's stuck. Stuck students float to the top of your list before they're lost for good.
📊 One-tap check-ins, polls, chat, and a session report when it's over.
It's free forever for sessions up to 45 min / 30 people, no credit card. (Pro is $19/mo if you need longer or bigger rooms.)
Watch the short demo above, or try the whole loop in two minutes: create a workshop from the sample template, then join it from your phone as a "student".
Honestly, I'm launching this to find out two things: whether this problem is as common as I think it is, and whether Workshopy.io actually helps. So if you teach, train, or run workshops of any kind, I'd love to hear from you.
Every reply, good or bad, helps me build this in the right direction. 🙏 🙏 🙏
