I needed a way to quickly count the number of videos and the total course duration for courses on Teachable. There's no obvious way to find this info in the UI, so I wrote a very hacky JS script to calculate it.

Instructions:

  1. Go to the page for the course (e.g., https://training.gruntwork.io/p/terraform)
  2. Open the web dev console
  3. Paste the script above and hit enter
  4. You should get output like: "30 micro videos, 92 minutes, 53 seconds"
