What's New

Recent updates, improvements, and fixes on LearningFirst.

April 14, 2026

  • NewGuided tour for first-time readers—Open any collection for the first time and a short tour points out the contents panel, navigation, fullscreen mode, and the Ask-AI panel. Completion is remembered across devices so it never nags you twice.
  • NewWhat’s New page—This page. Curated release notes for every meaningful change — reachable from the footer and the user dropdown, with a small dot to flag anything you haven’t read yet.
  • ImprovedFollow us on X and Instagram—Official social links in the About footer and the user dropdown. We’ll post release notes, feature demos, and behind-the-scenes work there.

  • NewPlaza, reimagined—A three-lane layout with Editor’s Picks (curated bundles with editorial intros), Featured Curators (publisher cells with a hero cover and sample collections), and Latest — so there’s always a thoughtful next thing to open.
  • NewPick your reading font—Inside any collection, toggle between Modern, Classic, and Techy. Your choice persists across sessions.
  • ImprovedRicher collection headers—Collection pages now show a sub-title, section sub-titles in the outline, brand-colored stat numbers, and a combined stats + actions row so the header reads in one pass.
  • ImprovedQuieter, smarter starring—You’re now asked to answer a quiz before starring it. Your Starred Items page renders the option you picked and flags it green or red against the correct answer.
  • ImprovedSession cover scaling and scroll—Cover-card fonts shift with your reading size, the reading card fills the viewport again, and long content scrolls inside the card with a persistent breadcrumb at the bottom.
  • ImprovedAbout page refresh and new landing—A pull-quote banner, clearer problem/solution framing, and the Explore-the-Plaza CTA. First-time visitors now land on About instead of Plaza.

April 12, 2026

  • ImprovedCleaner collection cards—Grid cards use a 5:7 cover ratio, a slimmer footer with avatar + author, and show the collection’s sub-title at a glance.
  • ImprovedConsistent naming: Sections and Sessions—Renamed user-facing terminology across the product — Group→Section and Stack/Post→Session — so labels match the way we actually talk about content.

Earlier improvements predate this changelog — we started keeping track here, but the work behind LearningFirst stretches further back.
