Good idea, I need to sync the About page with the front page. The copy should be consistent and clear! Yes, the primary purpose of the site is to collaboratively learn topics, but there's no reason you need to do it with other people if you want to stay siloed.

I considered having the Add button below resources, but after you have 5 or 6 lists, the button disappears down the page. Haven't figured out a good solution for that yet. I looked into the button not working, and the bug is that it works on the list's page, but not on the manage page. Thanks!

I looked on other sites, and it seems pretty common to separate your profile settings (how people see your profile, etc) from your account settings (username, password, email). Any thoughts on how to make it more clear?

You're reading my mind. I already have a "next resource in list" feature, but have disabled it in the UI until it's complete. Also, there will be a way to do this on the dashboard across multiple lists, but I haven't come up with a good algorithm that users can control to determine what resources from which lists to do next. That might be overkill.

Really appreciate the feedback. Keep it coming.

You're right, I was using the manage page to add a resource. It's working now.

You could put a duplicate of the button at the bottom of the list or just show it when there are no resources in the list.

I see that separating the profile and account setting makes sense. Maybe I was confused because I didn't expect to have as many profile settings. You could add a link between the two pages to clarify it further.

Good luck!

Thank you!
