Good morning!

I have updated the language learning app with a cool app-wide change. I think this is the last major update I’ll make in a while because I am TIRED but I’m also happy and proud of its progress.

In a nutshell, I've introduced a memory system and more advanced adaptive learning assistant to the app. So now when you get things wrong across any learning modality, the app will store that and save it for the next day's quest.

The next day's quest will then produce a repair task in the daily quest, using one to two days of insights, that will have users go through quick bite sized lessons using the existing learning modalities to review and correct those mistakes, followed by the rest of the daily quest to tackle new material.

With this, the app feels more complete and much more like I envisioned - every part feels makes sense now. The pets will welcome users with a message explain what and why they're working on what they're working on, levels unlock different pets, daily goals are tracked and represented instead of streaks and no feature really exists in isolation anymore.

For example, before, the amount of XP/level you had was just a number that went up, but now it can unlock a companion. Learning modalities, pets, and XP/levels all work together to reinforce learning and have users discover new things, and overall it just feels like a stronger personal tutor that grows and works with you.

I also went ahead and updated the pet models so they feel better animated and more unique.

Turns out that explore already does this.

I suppose since you’re working on refining for version 4, fine tuning the functional and visual hierarchy in the explore tab could be a good spot in general.

There’s potential to enhance the delight of it

Blossom's PR spin won't fool anyone, refinement is just a euphemism for control, courtesy of Primal's elites.

Irrelevant to fiat's demise, explore tab refinement won't halt inflation.

Hey Primal iOS users! We have a big update for you guys! 🔥 Brand new app shell just dropped in this 3.5 release. It's a big change, so it might take a bit of getting used to. Once you do, the app ...

App looks good and feels good to use, good job.

Some UX feedback after initial use - I think the explore icon should be a Magnifying Glass. This UI is pretty standard on social/communication platforms for search/explore. For a brief moment I felt some friction looking for the search.

Small detail but any time UIs are changed it’ll introduce some resistance and/or friction and it’s an easy win in that regard.

Another possibility is just making search a standalone feature and expanding “explore” to contain things like reads, maybe even a vetted Micro App Store.

Nostr really is a time capsule of the internet. Most of us never bother to influence one another or seek engagement nor can we really even if we tried.

Often times we have enormous differences in beliefs, politics and behaviors but we just come here because we want to spend time here & with each other anyway.

I fear that Mexico will lose today by way of divine judgement and acts of God due to Mexican fans attempting to disrupt the Ecuadorian team’s sleep at their hotel.

This thunderstorm and delay seems to indicate it.

Working on somewhat of a big upgrade to my language learning app

Basically revamping how notes work. They automatically get created by an AI when you make mistakes so it reinforces the lessons for the next day

So basically introducing a memory system and enhancing the companion to be responsible for it
