Quick Start Guide

Welcome to FluentFlash! Here's how to start learning in under 2 minutes.

Step 1: Create an Account

Step 2: Explore the Dashboard

After signing in, you land on the Dashboard. The sidebar on the left gives you quick access to everything — My Decks, Analytics, Settings, Referrals, and more. On mobile, tap the hamburger menu to open the navigation drawer.

Your dashboard shows:

Recent Decks — Your 5 most recent decks with card counts and due cards

Quick Actions — Buttons to create a new deck, generate AI cards, view analytics, or study all due cards

Stats — Cards due today, day streak, total decks/cards, and study goal progress

Step 3: Create Your First Deck

Click "Create deck" from the dashboard or Quick Actions

Give it a name (e.g., "Biology 101" or "Spanish Vocab")

Optionally set a language and category

Step 4: Generate Cards with AI

Open your deck and click "Generate with AI"

Choose an input method:

Topic: Just type what you want to learn (e.g., "Photosynthesis")

Notes: Paste your lecture notes or textbook content

Select an output type — flashcards, study guide, cheat sheet, or formula sheet

Select how many cards you want (Quick, Thorough, or Deep Dive)

Click Generate Flashcards and watch them appear in real-time

Review the generated cards, edit any you want to change

Use the sticky save bar at the bottom of the screen to save — it's always visible so you never have to scroll to find it

Step 5: Study!

Go to your deck and click "Study"

A card appears — try to remember the answer

Click "Show Answer" (or press Space)

Rate how well you knew it: Again, Hard, Good, or Easy

The AI schedules your next review based on your rating
