I have started using Osmosis as my tool for 'first and second pass' through all of my lectures, at a minimum. The analyzing text tool and recommending videos/resources is great. I really think it's a great strength that you have worked so hard to integrate with other tools that medical students use, rather than compete against them. One of the things that I always find takes too much time in med school is finding the appropriate resources to study effectively, and you all are doing a great job in alleviating that. Additionally, the videos provide a great overview without getting bogged down in minutiae and are almost always a perfect length. My critiques would be:
1) I haven't seen any videos from Boards and Beyond in my lectures notes on the sidebar or using the 'analyze text' tool, even though I specifically know that there are videos that relate to that lecture's content. Obviously that tool needs some fine tuning in regards to that.
2) The flashcards and spaced repetition tools are fantastic, but almost every medical student that I know already uses Anki. While it might be a large endeavour, if you could find a way to integrate your flashcards into already existing Anki decks while still protecting the integrity of your resources, that would be amazing and further decrease the run-around time for medical students.
3) While I feel the study schedule tool is probably great for Step 1 Prep, I've had a little trouble using it for my class prep. I also attend a school with a 'spiral' curriculum, so I think this tool may work better if you're in a systems-based curriculum where you can just go through the videos in order with your lectures.
