How to help

lessons are stored in the /public/units/<unit-name>/lesson-plan.json and lessons folder.

Each Lesson Plan has the following scheme

{
  "id": "mini-kore",
  "title": "Mini Kore",
  "lang": "en",
  "lessons": [
    {
      "id": "basics-1-1", // id of lesson, points to json in lessons folder
      "title": "Basics",
      "pic": "https://openmoji.org/data/color/svg/1F64B.svg"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Each Lesson has an id in the lesson plan that points to a file in lessons folder. Ex. ./lessons/basics-1-1.json

{
  "title": "lesson one",
  "guide": "units/mini-kore/lessons/1-1.md", // text for this lesson's guide as markdown
  "words": "units/mini-kore/words-mini-mundo.json", // dictionary for dynamic on-hover translations
  "cards": [
    { "tra": "<translation here>", "txt": "<text to show>", "pic": "<picture url>" },
    { "tra": "Hello", "txt": "Salu!", "pic": "https://openmoji.org/data/color/svg/1F64B.svg" }, // example
