The cohort feeling, on-brand.

Per-batch Common Rooms with topic channels, post types, @-mention autocomplete, emoji reactions, and Q&A with accepted answers. A leaderboard that now rewards community activity — not just attendance. Announcements that land on phones, not just inboxes. The retention story most LMS platforms forget to ship.

Per-batch Common Rooms — chat-grade, built in.

Every batch gets its own feed, organised into topic channels — Announcements, General, Q&A, Wins, Resources. Post rich text as a discussion, question, or win; tag people with @-mention autocomplete; attach files; react with emojis on posts and comments. Sort Latest or Top. Members get notified when something lands; moderators pin, feature, hide, or remove.
  • Topic channels (Announcements / General / Q&A / Wins / Resources / Off-topic)
  • Post types — discussion, question, win, announcement — with badges
  • @-mention autocomplete (↑/↓/Enter) that notifies the tagged member
  • Emoji reactions on posts + comments; sort by Latest or Top
  • Moderator controls — pin, feature, hide, delete; per-community moderators
  • File uploads with type-aware previews (images / video / audio / PDF)

Hey @Renu — what hour is the next office hours?

Anaya·3m

Just shipped my first React app — feedback?

The cohort doesn't end when class ends.

Every community attached to a course now has a Classes tab — a single surface that lists upcoming live sessions, past recordings with watched / unwatched badges, and a “wraps in N days” banner whenever the cohort has a hard window. When the host finishes a class, the wrap wizard auto-posts a recap into the community feed so re-watchers know what they missed.
  • Classes tab — upcoming live + recordings grid per cohort
  • Cohort window banner ('wraps in 12 days') when the course has an end date
  • Next-class card with a one-tap Join button when the host opens the room
  • Auto-recap post from the wrap wizard with title, summary, and recording link
  • Per-viewer watched / unwatched badges so students see their backlog at a glance

📣 Auto-recap

Class 4 just wrapped — recap posted to the feed.

Leaderboard that rewards real work — and real community.

Points come from attending live classes, taking and passing quizzes, submitting assignments, completing lessons and courses — and now from showing up in the community: posting, replying, and earning reactions. Best score per item counts — no farming (self-reactions don't score). Scoring rules are visible to everyone, and each community spotlights its Top Contributors.
  • 10 pts per live class · 5 per quiz (+15 pass) · 15 per assignment
  • 8 pts per community post · 3 per comment · 2 per reaction your content earns
  • Top Contributors spotlight (🥇🥈🥉) in every community
  • Filter by course or by last 7 / 30 days

Announcements that reach phones.

Send an announcement once — it lands in the in-app bell, in their inbox, and on WhatsApp. Same dispatcher used by live classes, with the same per-channel toggles. No copy-pasting into a community group.
  • One composer, three channels
  • Course-scoped or workspace-wide
  • Priority levels for urgent vs. routine
  • Discussions thread under each announcement

Discussions that thread — and questions that get resolved.

Every course, cohort, and announcement gets a discussion thread. Ask a question, and any reply can be marked the accepted answer — the question shows an 'Answered ✓' badge and the answer is highlighted, so the thread resolves instead of scrolling away into a WhatsApp group history.
  • Question posts with an 'Answered' state + accepted-answer highlight
  • Threaded replies with @-mention autocomplete + reactions
  • Pin or feature the best posts; moderators can hide/remove
  • Notifications on replies, mentions, answers, and announcements

When should I stop interviewing?

I've done 6 interviews and started hearing the same patterns. Is that the moment to stop?

That's saturation. 5–8 interviews per persona is the rule of thumb. If you can fill in answers in your head before asking, you've probably saturated.

Same here — by the 5th interview I knew what they'd say about navigation.

Curious — does the rule change for B2B users vs consumers?
