Readfa.st teachers people to read faster. Users can practice on any content from the web with one-click of our bookmarklet and game and social mechanics keep practice fun. Frequent quizzes ensure that users maintain comprehension as they get faster. Check us out at: http://readfa.st
One of our key game mechanics is experience points awarded for effective practice. There are two scores: Momentum and Experience.
Momentum increases per word read, but decreases over-time. Since practice is more effective when done with a certain frequency it helps reward users for practice that drives faster improvement.
Experience increases per word read, but is multiplied by Momentum. It never decreases and acts as a gauge of the sum "value" of a user's practice.
We are looking for graphical representations of Momentum and Experience that users will see on their profile that sits in the right-side. The graphics should be able to represent ranges of values, i.e. for Momentum 1-10 and Experience should represent a range from 0 to 1,000,000.
If you've created an account and taken the treadmill at http://readfa.st you will see the current Momentum and Experience in your profile to the right.
Most importantly we are not tied to the existing designs. We would like to maintain a minimal overall site design.
