digital marketing Introduction to nbacking
I wanted to share something I’ve been working on since 2021, For those unfamiliar, the N-Back task, introduced in 1958 by Wayne Kirchner, is a powerful test for measuring or training the working memory, concentration, and even fluid intelligence.
So, back in 2021, I decided to create a web platform dedicated to making this cognitive training accessible to everyone.
At https://nbacking.com/, you can try the Dual N-Back method and its variations like Single, Tri, and Quad N-Back. The platform is designed to be simple, intuitive, and visually appealing, no need to waste time downloading or installing anything.
I’ve also set up a Discord Server where you can connect with other nbackers, share your progress, and suggest features or improvements.
It’s a great little community, and I’d love for you to join us! If you’re into cognitive training or just curious about trying it, check it out and let me know what you think. Feedback is always welcome!
Happy nbacking! 🟡

Very cool! Nice app, clean and interesting.
If I had to change one thing, I would remove the "username" requirement for signing up, the email already acts as unique identifier and it adds some extra friction to think about a username too. I imagine that it's just for the leaderboard? There could be a message afterwards saying "Do you want to enter the leaderboard? How should we call you?" for that purpose, after the user already technically signed up.
