See your friend’s progress on Treehouse?

Hello! My friend and I are both starting Treehouse and pushing each other to stay motivated and study as much as we can! Is there is a way to “add friends" to your account so we can track who has the most points, who’s farther, etc.? Friendly competition :)

Please let me know if you can, thank you!

You can always save a bookmark in your browser for your friend's profile page (assuming they have it set to be public) so you can see their points and achievements, and compare them with your own.

Here's the link to yours: Laura Carvajal, but you can also get to it from the menu bar at the top of every page.

Happy coding!

Hey there.

Friendly competition and motivation is a great idea. There really isn't a way to "add friends," but what you could do is bookmark each other's profile page, so you can quickly check out the badges earned and the points accumulated. Just click the little down arrow beside your profile pic in the top right of the nav bar and "view profile". Then just book mark and 'sneak a peek' whenever you want to see who's "winning" :)

Have fun and keep coding! :) :dizzy:
