What’s new
Version 1.1.0 · Updated August 7, 2026
Learn together: Add friends and see how your week stacks up against theirs. Join a society composed of your friends, your desk, or your group chat and compete on a shared leaderboard. Pick a username and avatar to go with it, and invite people with your own link. Your week, reviewed: Every Monday, get a look back at the week just gone: XP earned, lessons cleared, days you showed up, and where you finished on the board. We'll tell you when you've beaten your best week yet, and you can share the card. A path that fits you: Onboarding now asks which areas you actually care about and reorders your learning path around them. Clearer lessons: Answer explanations are now full-screen, and the question stays pinned while you answer — no more scrolling back to check what was asked. The Floor, rebalanced: Position sizing is now based on your opening book for the day, so a hot streak can't snowball into numbers that stop meaning anything. Your virtual book resets to $100,000 every Monday, making each week a fair fight. For Basis Pro: A personal analytics dashboard tracking how your accuracy, pace, and consistency are trending — plus a Pro mark on the leaderboards. Also in this release: Smarter, less frequent reminders. A faster, smoother launch. And a fix for a bug where the daily scenario could reveal the correct answer before you'd chosen.
