Suggestion: add a timer setting to the "vision" practice mode

I'm just starting to learn the coordinate names on a chess board, and as of right now i can't get more than 15 in 30 seconds. 30 seconds feel very short for beginners, who are probably the biggest group of people who use that mode at all. Please add variable timers, and an "infinite time" mode!

What is the reactivity of chess.com team to features requests ? Has there been some kind of acknowledgment ?

From what i can tell there is no reactivity whatsoever. Not for this suggestion which i made two years ago, neither for anything else. I recently asked why they removed the option to instantly go to the next puzzle after solving one and the answer was basically "we are removing features that are not used a lot". Like, why? Makes no sense to me. The membership is really too expensive for them to put no work in at all, at least seemingly.

Hello hello! Just passing by to ensure this is followed-up. Improved training tools is one of our team's major projects - especially when it comes to players who're starting their chess journeys.

We understand the concept brought up here related to the timer within Vision, and how it can be perceived that this is something simple to implement. That said, hang in there with us, we'll have further improvements over the training journey of members, and even if we can't guarantee they'd involve a setting for the timer within the Vision tool, the idea behind it will be forwarded to the appropriate team to be taken into consideration for our training projects.
