Start

Start is the screen the app opens with until you answer it. It is shown on a first launch and on any launch where no book has been opened on this device. Once you choose anything on it, later launches open the shelf instead.

The banner is the book you were last in. It carries the title, the mode, the line the book states about itself, the chapter and step you left it at, and the date it was last opened. Continue opens that book on the writing screen. Where the device has opened no book yet the banner says so and offers New book in its place.

Four ways on. Open shelf goes to the shelf, which lists every book on this device; the first time, it shows the onboarding tour first, once. Help replays it. New book opens the wizard described in screens/03-new-book.md. Import opens the same wizard with a first step for the file, described in screens/04-import-book.md. Continue opens the banner’s book.

Sign in or continue as a guest. A guest can write, and every book stays on this device as a file. Sync and the community features need an account, and the line under the choice says so. Once you are signed in the section shows your name, your tier and a way to Account.

News and events. The last two sections are the announcements band and the events strip of the tournaments and shared challenges now running. Each is read when the screen opens: while it is being read the section says so, and where the read fails it says what refused it and offers a retry. An empty section says why it is empty rather than showing nothing.

Try: open the app with no book ever opened, and the banner offers New book. Make one, close it from the game menu, and the next launch opens the shelf with the book on it.
