I’m curious about this but the free strategies are the least interesting. And so I dropped off there.

If you’re making money off the practice problems, why even gate the strategies?

Just a thought. Love the site design though!

Just practice. No strategies. No config options. You just answer a set number of problems and you're done for the day. At the end of each session, you're told how long your daily streak is. No streak freezes. No login.
