I will definitely check it out and give you feedback. A service like this is definitely something I might have benefited while I was struggling in a low income household in an extremely high cost of living area.

It wouldn't have to be just for tutoring, but it can help in terms of mentorship and just learning from older people with more real life experience and career.

Thank you so much for sharing your personal connection! I really relate and wish I'd had more mentors growing up too. But at least we can change that for future students! I look forward to hearing your feedback and if we're lucky maybe even having you volunteer with us :)
Here are my thoughts. I like the simplicity of the UI, and it's pretty snappy. I've done 2 of the quizzes, and they are pretty fair. As expected I've forgotten a lot so I will have to review.

Other thoughts: - I thought the signup buttons/some action buttons could use a color contrast - some of them were hard to see visually. - Some of the visual indicators when the mouse hovers over a button/action would be nice, just so the user knows which items are more clickable - more affordances can be nice. - I put in my preferred name to be called during sign up.IF you are going to do verification, maybe you can make that clear. Or have the option to keep a nickname. - The profile page needs more information for editing and display. But I think it is probably on your backlog.

Woo, I am so excited to hear that you signed up and already tried taking a quiz! Appreciate all the feedback, and we will definitely work on the things you mentioned. Feel free to reach out via the AC community slack if you ever need anything - hopefully we get to meet at a coach meeting sometime!
