Field notes
The page separates open-ended Assignments from timed Challenges: an Assignment can be taken at the user's own pace, while a Challenge ends when its clock runs out. It also describes ways to share a roll beyond the app, including QR codes for print or pages and a Wallet pass for a phone lock screen. The site says the phone experience works offline and collects no data; those are project claims, and the mobile releases are still listed as forthcoming.
