ottiebox teaches you to invest and trade with tiny lessons, pretend money, and real prices. no jargon, no hype, no pressure to buy anything.
would love to see a "lesson history" tab where you can revisit past topics and track which concepts you already nailed versus ones to brush up on. kind of like a spaced repetition thing but kept simple.
@sefa1270776 this is a good one! progress is pretty linear right now, and a simple “here’s what you’ve got solid vs. worth revisiting” view is something i want too, kept simple exactly like you said rather than a full spaced-repetition engine. thanks for thinking it through 🙏 will spec this out
Love the bite-sized approach and the no-pressure vibe, that part is genuinely refreshing. One idea from a user perspective though: add a simple performance tracker that shows how your pretend portfolio would have done over different time windows, like 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year. It would make the lessons feel more connected to real outcomes without crossing into actual investing territory, and it would give learners a clearer sense of how strategy choices play out.
@onurtekkoyun thank you! I actually launched it with something like that but I felt it wasn’t immersive enough, so it would’ve gotten passed over by members. But the different time windows may be able to get it over that hump. Will think on this more! Appreciate your insight.
love the no-pressure vibe and the tiny lessons approach. one thing that would help me stick with it: add a "what would have happened" replay button after each lesson so i can see how the same play plays out across a week of real prices, would make the learning feel way more tangible.
@lkerdabas7lr this is interesting (“what would have happened”) and seems to be a common theme from feedback so far. Will definitely think on this idea more. Thank you for feedback 🙏
finally something that lets me learn without feeling like im being sold on something. the tiny lessons with pretend money actually made chart watching click for me.
@semawa6l that’s the goal! If there’s any way I can improve it further for you please let me know.
would love to see a little progress tracker or streak system so i can see how consistently ive been learning. something simple like a weekly check-in showing which topics ive covered and which ones are still untouched would keep me coming back and make the tiny lessons feel more like a real journey.
love how you lead with pretend money and real prices, makes the whole thing feel safe to mess around in.
