User stats: web app, store in db locally
How to add a new lesson on wiki
Comparison on one page so no swiping, activate as go
Movement audio with slider/successive (need audio sequence)
Buttons further apart, scrollable
Eval correct/not not obvious
Show 1/N for each step
Move eval and tut to fragments with lesson main activity
