This is a really interesting concept. Like @bentossell, I am super curious if short, sprint-like mental workouts and exercises can really move the needle on developing/sharpening hard skills. @kirill is one smart entrepreneur and if he believes this approach to skill acquisition works, I'm wide open to it.

@dankaplan thanks :) We're obviously obsessing about what kind of content can be engaged with in just a few minutes, and yet be immediately useful. Three of the cases of "immediate usefulness" we've seen so far from users are: 1) short stand-alone tips, tricks or hacks which move the needle on productivity straightaway; 2) highlighting concepts or features which we help the user follow up on, which they wouldn't have known about otherwise; 3) important concepts which are worth sharing with peers and coworkers. There are lots of other tangential and longer-term benefits that quite a few of our users have mentioned already, including helping to start productive conversations with coworkers, enabling a daily learning habit which catalyses other learning, and so on. But these are the short term benefits our users are seeing so far.
