I like the idea behind it, looking at the Caro course and a few things:

1. I wish the board was actually bigger, and the notes for each move were easier to read. On my Macbook the sidebar takes up too much space and theirs tons of free space for the board to be bigger. 2. I wish it was more convenient to go down random side lines and then return to the main line.

So mostly usability problems? The idea to make a club-level Chessable is good though, honestly I've wanted a better LiChess Study alternative, the spaced repetition is a good feature to work for but honestly I think usability/smoothness and having easy to understand/read captions for moves and why they are important is better.

If I know why certain moves are better I don't have to memorize them, or it will make it easier to memorize in the future.
