Minor bug fixes, streaks are better, announcements are here!
Since our first public update post, we shipped a focused set of improvements across reminders, announcements, settings, grades, and reliability.
1) Teacher Announcements Got a Major Upgrade
Added a collapsible Teacher Announcements section inside the reminders workspace.
Added per-announcement dismiss buttons so students can clear what they’ve already read.
Added persistent dismissal tracking so dismissed announcements stay out of the active feed.
Kept announcement links available so students can jump back to Classroom when needed.
2) Reminders Workspace Quality Fixes
Fixed reminder deletion issues on Chromebook.
Fixed an infinite saving state bug in reminder flows.
Improved overdue-task wording so status is clearer and less confusing.
Restored and refined collapsed/expanded behavior for announcements inside the to-do experience.
3) Settings UX Improvements
Added a settings ribbon navigation to move between settings sections faster.
Improved settings page structure and readability.
Adjusted account controls (including logout placement) for cleaner navigation.
4) Grades: Weighted Category Editing
Added support to edit weighted grade categories per course.
Improved course-level grade display logic to reflect custom weighting choices.
5) Streak + Daily Momentum Polish
Fixed and refined study streak animations.
Improved streak event handling and visual behavior in daily use.
Polished daily overview/streak interactions for a smoother “what do I do now?” flow.
6) Assistant + Sync Reliability Improvements
Cleaned up assistant/settings wording to be more product-facing and less backend-branded.
Improved sync resilience in Google Classroom integration paths.
Added targeted auth/sign-in handling improvements tied to sync reliability.
Added chat history.
7) Improving User Interface
We improved user interface where some pages were unreadable in dark mode.
Added a satisfying animation when checking off a reminder.
Why This Matters
These updates are focused on execution quality: clearer reminders, less friction, more accurate grade planning, and better day-to-day trust in sync and assistant behavior.
What’s Next
We’re continuing work on:
deeper sync automation,
stronger early-warning signals for struggling students,
and faster, cleaner mobile/desktop workflows.
