/dashboard, first tab. The question this view answers is "what should I do now?" — everything on it is either an answer to that or evidence you are making progress.
The three views (Learner · Parent · Teacher) share one tab strip, defined once so the tablist and its keyboard handler cannot drift apart. Arrow keys move between them.
The top of the page is one of two things depending on whether you have finished anything.
Get started — "Open your first class. Pick any subject; your progress saves automatically." One button, no decisions.
Keep going — a short ranked list of what to do next. Each row carries a tag and a reason:
| tag | when | why it says |
|---|---|---|
| Start | never touched | New — next on your path |
| Build | Attempted or Familiar | Keep building toward Proficient |
| Almost there | Proficient | One strong run to Mastered |
| Review | Mastered | Keep it sharp |
Ordered by urgency first, then by how long it has been. The reason string is not decoration — it is what makes the list feel chosen rather than generated.
Your skills on the five-rung ladder — Not started, Attempted, Familiar, Proficient, Mastered — with Go to practice → and Browse all → out of it.
Remember that only a Unit Test can raise a skill to Mastered; Mastery Challenges top out at Proficient. See 4 · Practice and mastery.
A rolling seven days ending today, read from the real activity history rather than synthesized from the streak count — so it stays correct across gaps a freeze covered. It matches the Feed's Streak view exactly, because both read the same source.
Your freeze count shows here too. Freezes are capped at 2.
Effort XP drives a level, and the level names a rung:
Curious → Apprentice → Adept → Scholar → Sage → LuminaryThe panel shows the next rung and how far you are into the current one. These are the XP rungs — distinct from the mastery ladder, and distinct again from the Topics skill ladder (Explorer → Builder → Scholar → Expert). Three ladders, three purposes; do not collapse them in copy.
A direct entry into the feed, for when you want a short session rather than a class.
The view and filter tabs are keyboard-driven; the shortcut panel on the page lists them.
