First attempt navigating the site and posts
4yr

I thought it could be helpful to record my first experience using the website, specifically, my first attempt to post.
First off, I love the way the site is organized . Seeing the "0 posts," made me think I should post. I think that was a great choice to motivate community interaction. Nobody wants to see a, " zero progress has been made," reminder 🤣
But then I tried to click on, "Posts." It's not a useful hyperlink at the beginning, just more info about my lack of posts. But nowhere to post.
I clicked on Courses, Tools and Album. Still unable to catch an obvious place to post. Finally, I navigated the collapsible menu for the site. I clicked the Community link. Boom, I found it.
Now that I know that 'Community' means 'Forum', I've had no issue navigating the site. Again, this is all about the first attempt of using the site. Now that I've done it correctly I'll be able to do it passively, FOREVER. In that first attempt, however, I just trialed and error'ed down the list of hyperlinks.
I think another "box" on the Dashboard containing a popular or recent post from the Community page would circumvent that first time search. It would also serve as a 'homepage reminder' as to what the Proko Community is up to.

I am aware this is the place for reporting bugs, but... For one, I am still in the phase of orientation. And secondly, I haven't encountered with any troubles (well, once I couldn't see the very left edge of the screen, but the problem solved itself, when I closed and opened the tab). So far my overall experience is, I just love Proko 2.0. I really appreciate the structure and having all (my classroom courses – updated with critiques as not all were there when I bought the courses, new posts, feedback to other students works, and much more) at one place. I feel like being a part of a community. For me it is an unprecedented and just great opportunity for communication, inspiration, motivation and possibility to grow. Thank you
