Looks nice at first glance.
I had a bit of confusion with the Spanish course. I read through the basic categories, and decided to say "Claim Known" for one of them. It then asked me to "Choose a way to learn." This was odd, because I was just saying I knew the words, not in a particular direction (confusion #1).
I chose that I knew them English => Spanish. I then went up to the top to set "English => Spanish" for the whole course. This jumped me into the course, which I did not expect (confusion #2).
I hit "back," went back to the landing page, searched for the course page, and went to the course in order to try and learn a particular set. I scrolled down to one I didn't know, and clicked on "English => Spanish" to start the set. Unfortunately, the "Claim Known" button was already active, which I hadn't realized (surprising, since I felt like I re-entered the course from scratch). So clicking on "English => Spanish" sent those words off as "known" (confusion #3).
Now I have a list of words that I don't know marked as "known," and I don't know exactly what this means (confusion #4) and how to find these words to tell the system I don't actually know them (confusion #5), and I'm not allowed to learn those words even when I click "Learn Now" because it tells me I know them already (confusion #6).

- AndreRauh_ 9y ago(New account since I'm hitting HN rate limit) Thanks for the feedback! This is very helpful. There are definitely many rough edges in the app that will be improved. Regarding the UI: The React components state are actually always "remembered" so if you're in the middle of doing anything (like creating a course) you can go anywhere else and come back and find your UI in the exact same state. So it's feature but seems in your case was probably not optimal. I'll try to improve the UI around course learning!
