Spelling Creator

    Pages & routing

    The app is a single-page app with real-path client-side routes (served by BrowserRouter, not hash routes). Every page has a genuine URL like /hub/:id, so the Worker can return a prerendered snapshot to crawlers and serves index.html for unknown paths so deep links resolve:

    RoutePageWhat it does
    /HomeLanding page. Signed out: a marketing splash (animated floating words + feature blurbs). Signed in: a dashboard (latest-lessons feed, your activity, activity from people you follow, notifications).
    /editorEditorThe lesson builder (the original app). The "Save to cloud" dropdown (publish or save as draft) lives here.
    /hubLesson hubPublic gallery of published lessons (plus your own drafts), with search.
    /hub/:idLesson pageA single published lesson's page: preview, comments, and author link.
    /users/:idUser profileA user's public profile — their bio, follower/following counts, a Follow button, and published lessons.
    /loginSign inMagic-link sign-in / account status.
    /moderationModerationModerator/admin queue for reviewing reported content (gated to mods/admins).

    Unknown paths redirect to the home page (/).

    Every page's header carries a shared nav (a Lesson hub link and an account control that shows Sign in or the signed-in account menu). Routing is set up in src/main.jsx (BrowserRouter + AuthProvider, wrapped in a DisplayNameGate) and the route table is in src/App.jsx.

    Home page

    The home page (src/pages/HomePage.jsx) has two faces, chosen from the auth state:

    • Signed out — a hero whose backdrop is real spelling words drifting upward (built with tsParticles; see src/components/FloatingWords.jsx), followed by alternating feature blurbs. The words come from the Worker's GET /spelling-words.json — an aggregate of every spelling word taught across the published hub lessons, rebuilt at most once every two days and cached in KV (apps/api/src/routes/spelling-words.js). If that fetch fails, a small built-in word list is used instead. Feature illustrations live under apps/web/public/home/ (a missing file degrades to a labelled placeholder — see that folder's README.md).
    • Signed in — a dashboard showing the hub's latest-lessons Atom feed and the user's own activity feed (both parsed client-side from Atom with DOMParser, reusing the same feed.xml / profiles/:id/feed.xml endpoints the "RSS" links point at), a "From people you follow" feed (from the Worker's GET /following/activity; see Following), plus a roomier list of the user's notifications.
