How Linprov works
Use this page as the canonical explainer: a five-point overview of the experience, room creation, and the room detail view.
From homepage to live writing
The leanest path to value for new visitors.
- 1.
Choose where to jump in
Highlight a How it works link on the hero or start-here card, then let people join a live room or start quick play in one click.
- 2.
Lock in the prompt
The active cue stays pinned at the top of every room while upcoming prompts remain visible, so everyone writes to the same theme.
- 3.
Write in timed turns
The composer keeps the countdown, word-count meter, and rhyme helper close together, saving drafts automatically between turns.
- 4.
React and invite instantly
Emoji reactions, favourites, and invite links all sit on the same screen, so collaborators can join without breaking flow.
- 5.
Publish and keep momentum
Publishing updates the timeline in real time, advances the prompt when needed, and cues the next writer without a page refresh.
Creating a room in five steps
Optimised setup for hosts.
- 1.
Select mode and access
Pick solo or crew, choose public or invitation-only, and surface the same options in the homepage CTA for clarity.
- 2.
Add prompts with guidance
Use the multi-line prompt field with helper text and an optional AI suggestion button so hosts can set 3–5 cues fast.
- 3.
Tune language and rules
Set the room language, word caps, timer length, and safety filters in one grouped section with inline validation.
- 4.
Preview and confirm
Show a compact summary (title, access, prompt list, duration) before launch so hosts know exactly what will publish.
- 5.
Launch and share
After creation, keep the shareable link and invite code at the top of the success state and room header for zero friction.
Reading the room detail
What users see once they enter a room.
- 1.
Context at the top
Surface the room title, mode, access badge, active prompt, and timer together so the purpose is obvious.
- 2.
Live turn timeline
List verses with avatars, timestamps, and reactions, updating in real time and marking whose turn is active.
- 3.
Composer with smart helpers
Keep the editor, rhyme helper, and word-count meter in one panel, with autosave and submit-state feedback.
- 4.
Collaboration rails
Reactions, favourites, and inline notes sit alongside invite controls so crews can engage and grow the room.
- 5.
Host controls when needed
Hosts can pause the timer, reorder prompts, or close access without leaving the page; non-hosts only see actions they can perform.
