Why TypeScript for this
Completion rate is the metric that matters, and content quality is only part of it. Structure, cohort pressure and well-timed nudges move completion more than another polished video does.
TypeScript is strongest at one language across client and server, with types catching integration errors at build time. For lms development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: the ML ecosystem is in Python, so heavy model work lives there. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions
Should we build or buy an LMS?
Buy if standard course delivery covers you, Moodle and commercial platforms are mature and cheap. Build when your learning model is the product, which is usually true for edtech businesses and rarely for internal training.
Can it work on poor connections?
Yes, adaptive streaming, offline download and resumable progress. This is a core requirement in most of India, not an enhancement.
How do you prevent cheating?
Question randomisation, time limits, attempt controls and proctoring where the stakes justify it. Perfect prevention is not achievable; raising the effort required is.
Alternatives for lms development
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
