Rotating challenges by closing and reopening

[maddock07]

Hi,

I've been using your app for a while and I have started recommended it to others too. The thing I have noticed is that some challenges on the same difficulty level are inevitably inherently easier than others. So by closing and reopening the app one can cycling through them and skip difficult ones to find something easier.

I just want to ask if that behavior is wanted. I would suggest fixing it by storing challenges until they are solved or the difficulty changes. I can look into making the changes and creating a pr but I want to confirm if there even is interest in this.

Hi @maddock07

Thanks for the suggestion and for recommending the app to others!

That's a very good point. The current behavior wasn't specifically designed to let users skip difficult challenges, but rather because the challenge is re-evaluated each time the app is opened. One of the reasons for this is that we want the difficulty level to be adjusted if the user has stayed away from distracting apps for some time.

That said, storing the current challenge and keeping it until it is solved (or until the difficulty level changes) sounds like a great improvement. Using SharedPreferences for this would likely be a simple and effective approach.

I'd definitely be interested in reviewing a PR for this. Thanks again for bringing it up and for offering to contribute!
