Pre-release Review changes #3
First batch of updates since the first post! Sorry for the wait.
Features
1. Hard-handling of Errors in Reviews
Before this update, errors when submitting your answers to the database would happen silently, so you wouldn’t know if something went wrong (e.g. your internet connection dropped). This has been amended, and now you’ll be alerted if the DB submission failed.
You’ll receive an alert and given options (retry request, refresh page) for the following error types:
-
Question/answer submission fails (e.g. due to connection error)
-
Initial Reviews load fails (but page load doesn’t)
-
“Show Info” logic fails (e.g. due to connection error)
2. “Crammed Missed Items” button added to Summary
The button has now been activated! Choose a question-style and start the Cram session right from the Summary screen.
- Note that Cram is limited to Grammar Points right now (no Vocab), so this feature also is limited to Grammar Points for now
- The Summary page also received a little bit of a makeover
3. Removed the colored background gradient when post attempt
This one might be controversial, but we removed the colored background gradient after submitting an answer attempt. A colored ring around the input field will now replace it.
We received a lot of mixed feedback about this, so we’re still not sure about it. But on the bright side it will make it easier to add custom backgrounds in the future
