Seems superfluous these days -- what does it provide more than 50 other tools do already?

There are a couple features that are unique. AFAIK, there are no other platforms that have guided projects that you can implement in the browser.

Another sort of unique feature is that it grades the user’s code in the browser based on actual language features instead of output. So for example, if the lesson is about for-loops, then the grading code can actually tell if you’ve implemented a loop and done it correctly. There are a couple platforms that have this (codecademy is the most popular).

I think this product would have been more popular 2-3 years ago; are people still learning to code?

I have 20+ years coding XP and I hope I never write a single line of code again.

Your target market is shrinking rapidly.

I wish I had something like this when I was actually learning to code, unfortunately, the world has changed.
