Home surfaces Continue Reading, trending heat, genre doorways, Weekly Prompt invitations, and other living rails — a starting hearth, not a full catalog.
Explore is the toolbox: genre, tags, length, status, ranking lanes (Momentum, Hidden Gem, and friends), plus catalog sorts like title or word count. Use it when you know what you want.
Collections is the curated room — shelves like Trending, Hidden Gems, Critically Acclaimed, and binge-friendly lists already arranged for you. Leaderboard-style shelves live there too.
Header search is for quick title or author hits. The Social feed is for people and posts, not story discovery.
If a sort name is unfamiliar, open The Lexicon or How Discovery Decides.
