The general idea seems decent, and "just slightly above your skill level" is a real learning technique. One thing I'd be careful with is hints. In math you need to struggle through a problem to really get it, and students tend to instantly look the hint up instead. Self-restraint doesn't work here, so I'd think about how the app gates them (couldn't tell how you handle this since I didn't sign up). Some smaller notes…

Took another look to be specific. I think the information is actually all on the page, but it's never said in a plain sentence. The headline gives the outcome ("A grade ahead in math") and the sections give the feeling ("Never boring. Never impossible.", "A quiet starting point"), so I had to piece together the actual workflow myself from the Sketch / Show work on paper / Ask Hope cards. Something like "Hope gives yo…
