A little help behind
the big discoveries.

Google & email signups

1. Open Firebase Authentication → Sign-in method. Enable Google, choose the project support email and save.
2. Enable Email/Password. Desoko supports email account creation, verification emails, sign-in and password resets.
3. Under Authentication Settings → Authorized domains, keep thetrading.site and desoko.sokovictor39.chatgpt.site. Both domains were confirmed by the Firebase project API.
4. Test a real grown-up Google account and email account on the live site. Allow the Google sign-in popup. Email users should follow the verification email.

The public Firebase web configuration is already installed site-wide. No configuration paste or private service-account key is needed.

Accounts & cloud learning

Each parent account has one learner profile. The parent corner supports nickname, grade, language, daily goal, avatar and preferences, plus parent account name, verified email change and password change.

Signed-in activity completions sync when the connection is available. Account caches stay separate on a shared browser. Guest learning is imported only when a parent chooses Import device learning. Imported XP stays private and never counts toward weekly boards.

The app database is hosted with Desoko. You do not need Firestore for this version. Cloud learning can be removed in the parent corner after a recent sign-in; this removes its board entry while keeping the Firebase sign-in account.

Optional weekly explorers

A parent opts in from account settings. The grade board shows generated animal aliases, an avatar and verified weekly XP. It never displays a learner nickname, parent name, email or account identifier. Learners cannot message one another.

Scores are based on answers checked by the server, with at most eight rewarded activities per South African day. Boards use weeks beginning Monday. These are friendly practice scores, not school assessments.

Gemini learning replies

A grown-up enables Gemini learning replies under Celebrations & learning chat. Messages then go to Google Gemini for short educational responses in the selected language. Avoid personal details; AI responses can make mistakes.

The Gemini key stays in hosted environment variables and is absent from browser code. Site owners manage GEMINI_API_KEY and GEMINI_MODEL in hosting settings. Provider errors are shown clearly and prepared practice replies are labelled.

The learning year & languages

Grade R–3 each has 40 weeks, four app-paced terms and 200 year activities, alongside the 24 starter activities. Five weekly lanes cover language, maths, life skills, creative arts and discovery review, with practical activities for grown-ups to guide away from the screen.

English, Afrikaans, isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda, XiTsonga and isiNdebele are available. Translations and language progression are drafts for native-speaking educator review. South African Sign Language needs signed videos and specialist teaching; it is planned.

This original supplementary practice programme is informed by Foundation Phase CAPS subject areas. It does not replace a school’s current teaching plan, classroom teaching or formal assessment. Teacher guidance is in English, and any English-only language questions are marked.

Sound, motion & mobile

Correct answers trigger confetti and a short chime. Finished activities return to the home playground automatically. Grown-ups can turn sound or motion off, and reduced-motion device settings are respected. Reading aloud depends on voices installed on the device.

The “sokool” wipe runs during page changes and successful sign-in. Subject buddies, term badges and 3D buttons keep the interface playful.
