LearnLoop

Multi-tenant gamified LMS with RBAC, webhooks, and analytics.

Tech stack

Next.js 15 Prisma PostgreSQL Auth.js Tailwind Stripe Vercel

The problem

Corporate training LMS tools are either bloated enterprise products or vendor-locked SaaS. Small organizations need multi-role RBAC, content authoring, and progress tracking without Moodle-level complexity or Cornerstone-level pricing.

Goals

Multi-role RBAC covering learner, instructor, and admin
Gamification engine that actually motivates without dark patterns
Webhook integrations so external systems get events in real time
Live deployment with preview environments for every branch

The solution

Course authoring with lessons, quizzes, and media
XP, badges, streaks, and a leaderboard
Webhook integrations signed with HMAC
Admin analytics for learning outcomes
Bulk user import and role assignment

My role

→ Architecture across Next.js 15 App Router and Prisma
→ Server-component-first data fetching
→ Postgres schema with tenant scoping
→ Vercel deploy with preview environments
→ CI with GitHub Actions

UI direction

Minimal, dark-mode first, content-over-decoration. Server-component-first architecture so most pages ship with near-zero client JS.

User flows

Learner flow

1 Sign in and land on a personalized dashboard
2 Take today's lesson
3 Complete the quiz
4 Earn XP and unlock badges on streaks

Admin flow

1 Author a new course with lessons and quizzes
2 Bulk import users from a CSV
3 Assign roles and cohort membership
4 Review analytics on completion and engagement

Key learnings

Postgres RLS is cleaner than application-layer tenant scoping once the query count grows
Webhook HMAC patterns generalize across SaaS products
Gamification without dark patterns is a design discipline, not a feature flag
Next.js 15 server actions replace most REST boilerplate in a tenant-scoped admin app
