Choosing where to start

How the route builder decides what to suggest, why every step shows its reason, and how to clear it.

Applies to Novus Learn 0.1.0

What it does

Copy link

Novus Learn is large enough that 'what should I click' is a fair question. The start page asks what you are here to do, and turns that into a short route through pages that already exist.

Only the first question is required. Pick a goal and a route appears immediately. The three follow-up questions are optional: how familiar the subject is, how long you have, and what you enjoy most. Each one you answer changes the route rather than adding a step to a form.

Every step says why

Copy link

Each suggestion carries its own reason, written next to it. If you say a subject is new to you, the route adds the dictionary and explains that unfamiliar words are the usual reason a good explanation still does not land. If you say you have ten minutes, it suggests one skill lesson instead of a full timed attempt, and says so.

This is deliberate. A route you cannot interrogate is indistinguishable from a guess, and you should be able to disagree with the reasoning and go elsewhere.

Nothing here is a dead end

Copy link

Every route ends with a way to widen the search, because the honest answer to some goals is 'this might not be the right path'. That last option always points at the full catalogue.

If a suggestion is wrong, ignore it. Nothing is locked, and no page is hidden behind having answered.

Where your answer is kept

On your device, in browser storage, under a single key. No account is required to use the page at all.

If you do have an account and you turn on backup, this preference travels with the rest of your study settings, because how you want to study is the clearest case for something that should follow you to a second device. You can clear it from the start page itself, or from the storage controls in your settings.
