Know Whether It's Working

Studying tends to generate work that isn't studying. You spot a typo in a card, or realize a subject should be split in two, or think of a book worth chasing down, and dealing with any of it in the moment means the session you were in the middle of is over.

So Interact gives you three ways to park something in one tap and keep going, and collects all of them on the Progress page for later.

Our incentives line up with yours on this one. Interact only survives if people use it most days, and it only grows if those people end up telling someone that it worked. A streak and a goal that moved are the closest things we have to knowing whether either is happening, so they are the numbers we watch, and there was never much reason to show you a different set.

Cards created or hours logged would be far easier to make go up, and neither would tell you whether you were actually learning anything. So the page stays at two numbers.
