🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A 'power user' mode toggle that removes daily content gating for subscribers.
  2. A progress-based unlocking system that allows users to complete multiple lessons if they pass a comprehension check.
  3. A 'binge-learning' feature that allows users to queue up multiple sessions in a single sitting.

Real voices

“it prevented me from taking multiple sessions the same day. I mean, why bother learning it while I’m interested in it?”
