The Dashboard¶
The Dashboard is your home base. It pulls four data slices into one view: who you are as a learner (your profile), how you're doing right now (trend + streak), what you've been doing (recent sessions + method distribution), and what to do next (tool + spaced recommendations).
Profile radar¶
The radar chart at the top shows your 6-method profile from the assessment. Same shape as the post-assessment chart on the Assessment page. The dominant method is highlighted under the chart with a colored badge.
If you haven't taken the assessment yet, the radar shows an all-zero shape and links to the Assessment page.
Streak counter + session counter¶
Two compact tiles next to the radar:
- Streak days — consecutive calendar days with at least one ended session. Resets to 0 if today has no session yet.
- Total sessions — how many sessions you've completed, ever. Counts only sessions that were ended with a rating (and so produced a ProgressCommit).
The streak follows the Duolingo / Habitica convention: missing today drops the streak to 0 the moment the calendar flips.
Progress timeline¶
A two-line chart underneath the radar. Two metrics per session: your understanding rating and your stress rating, each rescaled from the 1-5 input to a 0-1 axis. Five most recent sessions shown by default; ordered oldest-left to newest-right.
What to look for: an upward understanding line is exactly what you want. A flat understanding line with rising stress is the exact signal the method-switch heuristic watches for; it'll nudge you to switch methods.
Method distribution¶
A horizontal bar chart showing which of the 6 methods you've been using. Each bar's length is the percentage of sessions that used that method. Bars are ordered descending by count; ties keep the canonical method order.
The point of this chart isn't competition with itself; it's a mirror. Some learners run 80% deductive sessions and that's fine. Other learners discover they've never actually used the contextual method and want to try it.
Recent sessions¶
The last 5 sessions as a compact list: method badge, the session's understanding rating (as a tiny bar), and the duration in minutes. Clicking a row jumps to the Progress page filtered to that session — useful when a particular session felt great or terrible and you want to see what happened.
Tool + spaced recommendations¶
Two recommendation cards along the bottom edge:
- Tools — 5 external tools (Anki, NotebookLM, Adaptive AI Prompt, Excalidraw, Obsidian) ranked by relevance to your profile. Each shows a one-line "why" tailored to your language.
- Spaced repetition — short "do this next" action cards driven by which methods you haven't practised recently. A five-band policy (first / refresh / review / practice / maintain) drives the interval suggestions.
Both lists update on every Dashboard load — they're cheap to compute and reflect the latest session.
Start session¶
The big primary button at the top: "Start session". Opens the Session page with a new session row created, the active method pre-picked from your profile, and the cycle at step 1.
