Hey all–
I just wrapped up development on a new home page for non-logged-in users. The page had had the same exact design since Quizlet launched more than a year ago. The “Top 5″ thing had a great run, but everything needs to get retired at some point. The new design presents a lot more dynamic information and cuts down on plain boring text.
In case you’re wondering, the new picture is a picture of me having breakfast (!) when I was about 10. I just felt like using it…haha.
I also shot a new demo video, available here: http://quizlet.com/demo/. I would say it’s a big improvement over anything I’ve done before 
On top of these improvements, I’ve made several bug fixes. Most notably, the ending analysis from the Learn page is back in Internet Explorer after a month-long vacation. I made Space Race wrap text so huge scrolling wouldn’t happen as much. I’ve also been working on a few things that should reduce static file sizes to make Quizlet load a little bit faster. Lastly, I upgraded this blog Wordpress 2.5.
In other news, it’s pretty much assured that I’ll be going to MIT. They gave me a pretty impressive financial aid package, and it should be a fun place to be. I’ll be in Boston Tuesday-Sunday visiting MIT for their Campus Preview Weekend, so if anyone’s in Boston and wants to meet up, send me an email (andrew at quizlet).
1st!
Oh, and keep up the good work.
Thank you for fixing everything! Oh, and i love the new homepage, its so much eaisier to find everything!
Love it!
Congrats on the MIT you truly are an intellegent person, and deserve that for free! LOL. Also want to say thanks for this website bc i recently moved to italy and i am able to use this to learn italian very rapidly. But i do mix this website with another, it has a conjugator program. Maybe you should add a conjugator and then your site will be perfect!!!!!
i think its a little flashy…….but otherwise good
conjugate stuff at
verbix.com/webverbix
Looking pretty good there Andrew. I see you changed the “motto” as well.
cool, flashy homepage (nothing wrong with that, #5). one thing: the top div’s border is broken, on my screen, on account of box.jpg not being wide enough. since it’s only 1100px, I’d imagine this happens to a lot of people
Nik — I actually took care of that problem while I was developing, but forgot to upload the new file. Try now
It’s also probably a cached file.
Nice Job Andrew! I love the new Quizlet!
nice job it is so awesome
quizlet rox my sox off! GO KU!!!!!
cool
ball-in
awesome, Andrew, no problems with the borders now!
kool

I like the updates a lot. And I like how you could fit the picture of you in with a punch line “Quizlet eats flash cards for breakfast.”
Congrats Andrew on getting into MIT! how exciting
Hope you’ve been having lots of fun and drop a wave to Bettina and Justin and Marquise and the others for me yeah?
Fantastic site - what a brilliant way to learn languages WELL DONE !!!!!!!
hey luv the new homepage, but i also liked the thing where you had brain injection and praying and stuff. great job though!
Would be nice to have some of the elements from the not-logged-in page in the logged-in page, such as the new set count, etc.
jing is really cool. do you know if there is anyway to pull the movie part out to edit?
I type in the word Degrees on the create a set, but when I look at the definitions the places where I typed degrees in, It comes up as a *. Whats going on???
Thank you very much. Help me a lot!
Congrats on MIT & the nice aid package!
Congratulations on MIT. You certainly deserve it.
At what age did you start programming?
its great! what a new and modern look for quizlet (even though it was ALREADY modern, its still awesome :))
AWESOMMMMEEEE!! congrats on getting in to MIT!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew;
Just saw you on TV and hopped right over to check out your site! My children will love it! Bless you for creating this site! My kids are in Jr. High and elementary school and can use your site for so many years to come!
Can you develop a way to add times tables to quizlet? This is one thing the kids are having trouble learning and something like this would be a great tool!
Thanks again!
Hi Andrew,
. I’m going to encourage my daughter to use your site. She’s only 6 but never too early to get her started learning fun stuff.
I just saw your in M and J! You are way too cool kiddo
Congratulations for getting in to MIT. You’ll have fun!
Andrew great job on the web site. You really dont know how helpful this is. thank you

Thanks for creating this site. It really helps me with spanish and other vocab. I like the new look. When is the new learn feature coming?
he doesn’t liston to what people have to say.
Hey Andrew,
Love the new design. I was wondering, what kind of HTML program did you use to create the site? I sorta looks like ColdFusion but i don’t know.
Thanks in advance,
Xaturukumutuxat
