The post describes an actual closed Android beta (12 paid testers) and concrete product details (flashcard unlock, trivia deck, tutorial), while commenters discuss real user behavior rather than calling the post promotional or fabricated.
“paying testers usually skews the data like this tbh. if someone isnt actually trying to study for an exam right now, they have zero motivation to make custom flashcards, no matter how many overlays you show them.” ▲ 75
