Shipaton 2025 - Day 12 - Initial Quiz Functionality

What I Built Today

Today was about turning learning into action - moving from “read this” to “remember this.”

✔️ The app now renders a quiz question with multiple options right on the screen.
✔️ You can tap to choose an answer - no modals, no extra steps, just direct interaction.
✔️ The quiz view plugs into the existing lesson flow, so learning → testing feels seamless.

🎯 The big win: I shipped the first interactive step of active recall. Each prompt becomes a quick rep for memory: select, check and move on.

Why the Quiz Matters

✅ Active recall over passive reading: Quizzing forces retrieval, which strengthens memory better than re-reading.
✅ Immediate engagement: Users go from “seeing” content to “doing” something with it.
✅ Foundation for growth: This structure sets up clear hooks for instant feedback and streaks next.

Learning Flow Levels Up

The journey from Home → Learn → Quiz now has intent. You’re not just consuming content - you’re testing it.

Why this helps:

✅ Motivation boost: Quick wins keep users coming back.
✅ Iterate smarter: With real interactions in place, I can tune option counts, timing, and question cadence using actual behavior.
✅ Scalable design: Today is single-choice MCQ. The same framework can support audio prompts, image choices, and typed answers later without reworking the core.

Conclusion

Quizzing is now part of the learning loop. From here, I’ll expand the experience with instant correctness feedback, streak tracking, and smarter difficulty so each session feels tailored and meaningful. The path from passive to powerful learning just clicked into place.
