Overview

Courses people start — and actually finish

An online learning startup had great instructors and a 19% completion rate. Learners got lost in endless catalogs, forgot where they left off, and quietly churned. Hollowmint Design rebuilt the experience around momentum: pick up where you left off in one tap, and always know what’s next.

Challenge & Approach

Designed for ten-minute windows

Interviews showed most learning happened in short bursts — commutes, lunch breaks, school pickup lines. I designed a “continue learning” home screen, downloadable bite-size lessons, and streak mechanics that encourage rather than punish.

  • Personalized home with resume-in-one-tap lessons
  • Offline-first lesson player with progress sync
  • Gentle streaks, badges, and cohort leaderboards

The outcome

Completion rates more than doubled in two cohorts, daily active learners tripled, and the new home screen became the product’s most-loved surface in surveys.
