Daily Recall: a course you can actually finish
Daily Recall used to send you a topic’s entire catalogue at your level. For a deep topic that meant hundreds of emails — React Native at Intermediate worked out at 85 weeks — and it walked through one subtopic at a time, so six weeks in you had seen Testing and Accessibility and Forms not at all. A Daily Recall is now a course of 30 emails, about six weeks on weekdays, and it moves across the whole topic from the first week, so you get a real tour of it rather than ten straight weeks on one corner. Finish one and we tell you, and if the topic has more at your level you can start the next part whenever you like, carrying on from where you left off. Prefer the old way? Choose "Everything" when you sign up and we will send the lot.
Your Daily Recall page now lists every lesson and quiz it has emailed you, newest first, so you can go back over an earlier day whenever you like — each one marked whether you’ve opened it or not. Progress changed with it: it used to count the emails we sent, which told you nothing about what you had read. Now it leads with how many you’ve actually opened, with what was sent as the fainter line behind it. Open one of those lessons and it tells you which Daily Recall it came from, with a link back to the plan. And if you follow a link from an email while you’re signed out, you can start reading straight away and sign in to carry on, where your progress is kept.
Pick a topic, your level, and whether you want lessons, quizzes or a mix, then tick the days you want. You get at most one short lesson or quiz a day, at 8am in your own timezone, in curriculum order, with a link to read it on SkillRecall. Each email takes a few minutes. It is free, no account is needed to start, and you can change your days, pause it or stop it whenever you like.
The Planner now starts from the role you’re preparing for. Pick your role, your stack, and your level, and it shows you exactly what it has organized before you dive in — the knowledge areas, the interview questions, and the topics worth refreshing, all drawn from real published lessons and never invented. Then choose how to start: Recall to review the key concepts and Q&A first, or Test to jump straight to the questions and see what you already know — two ways into the same plan. It’s free to explore with no account needed; an account saves your progress and lets you revisit the areas you missed.
Some lessons now come with a video you can watch without leaving the page — a code walkthrough that types the example out line by line, or a longer deep dive that builds it, traces it running, and covers the mistakes that are easy to make. They sit at the bottom of the lesson, and nothing loads until you press play. We are adding these to the lessons that benefit most from seeing the code written rather than read, so expect more of them over the coming weeks.
You can now sign in with your Google account — one click, no code to wait for. The email passcode still works exactly as before if you prefer it, and both routes reach the same account: if you already signed in with a passcode, using Google with that same address takes you to the account you already have. We only ever ask Google for your name, email address, and profile picture — nothing else, and nothing on your behalf.
