Mark what
actually landed.
One tap when an article rearranges how you think. Every aha is a signal — for you, for the platform, for what to publish next. Highlights lie. Aha moments don't.

One tap. Real signal. Yours.
Why it works
Highlights lie. Aha moments don't.
Highlights are defensive — “this might be useful someday.” Aha moments happen in real time when your thinking rearranges. That's the signal.
Tap
One tap at the end
Every article ends with an Aha button. Costs three seconds. No public counter, no drama — just a private mark.
Compress
Weekly review, 5 minutes
Your Aha moments feed groups by category. Read only what surprised you. Look for the pattern.
Apply
Ship one change
Each pattern becomes one shipped change. Reading without application is entertainment.
The honest signal
What you highlight is what you might use.
What you aha is what you actually use.
Twelve weeks of consistent ahas turns into twelve concrete changes to your business — all downstream of things you already read.
What ships with it
Not just a button. A system.
A private moments feed
Every aha you've tapped, grouped by category, always searchable at /sloth/aha. No public leaderboard, no shaming, no follower count.
Real XP, real streaks
Each aha grants +2 XP. Cap: 5 per day on Free (Sloth+ is unlimited). Aha days count toward your reading streak.
Sharper “For You”
The articles you flag as aha influence the /sloth home “For you this week” strip. The more honestly you tap, the better it gets.
Fair questions.
Isn't this just a like button?
Like buttons are public. Ahas are private. Nobody sees your count — the point isn't social proof, it's a personal signal you can review weekly.
What's the daily cap for?
To keep the signal honest. If you could aha 30 articles a day for XP, you would — and the pattern would be noise. Five/day forces you to pick the ones that actually landed.
Does it work on video or podcasts?
Article surfaces first. Video/audio aha ships in a later drop — same one-tap mechanic.
