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!
