Onboarding Tour
What the first-run guided tour covers and how to navigate it.
The onboarding tour is a short guided walkthrough that runs the first time you use HOSHIDOU. It highlights a few key parts of the interface so you know where the main features live before you start exploring on your own. It is purely informational and can be dismissed at any time.
When the Tour Appears
The tour appears automatically for new users, typically on the Home page the first time you arrive. It only runs once - the app remembers your progress, so completing or dismissing the tour means it will not appear again.
What the Tour Covers
The tour is intentionally short - just a few steps. Each step highlights one part of the UI with a brief explanation, walking you through the essentials such as:
- The chart on the Home page and what it shows
- The header controls for changing date, time, and location
- How to switch between wheel and table views
- Where to go next once you are ready to register your own birth data
Navigating the Tour
You can move through the tour with on-screen controls or with the keyboard - use the keyboard to step forward and back, and to close the tour. Each step shows where you are in the sequence so you always know how much is left.
Because the tour is informational, there is nothing to fill in and no wrong choices. Move at your own pace and close it whenever you like.
Accessibility
The tour is built to be comfortable to use:
- Keyboard navigation - step through and dismiss the tour entirely from the keyboard
- Reduced motion - if your system requests reduced motion, the tour avoids large animated transitions
- Progress is remembered - the tour does not repeat once you have seen it
After the Tour
Once the tour is done, a good next step is to register your birth data so you can use the personal chart features.
- Read the Home Page guide to get comfortable with the dashboard
- Then continue with Managing Birth Data to unlock personal charts
