Every page, explained
VinglishTalk is a small site with a few sharp surfaces. Here's the whole map — every page you can
land on and what it's for — so you always know where you are and where to go next.
Browse & social
| Page | Path | What it's for |
|---|
| Lobby | / | The home grid of live and warming-up rooms. Filter by topic, format, phase, or people you follow; tap a Normal room's mic to listen in while you browse. |
| Waiting Hall | /hall | Mark yourself available and browse who else is — a consent-gated way to fill room seats. Discovery in reverse: rooms browse people. More → |
| Ideas | /ideas | Your reusable idea collections — title plus key points. The raw material for opening a room or building a class deck. |
| Profile | /u/<username> | Anyone's voice business card: clips, reactions, reviews, credentials, social links. More → |
| Leaderboard | /leaderboard | Weekly and monthly rankings by reactions earned. Resets each cycle. |
Rooms
| Page | Path | What it's for |
|---|
| New room | /room/new | Pick an idea collection and a format, then launch. Walkthrough → |
| Open a room | /room/<id> | A smart link that sends you to the right room view for that room's format. |
| Normal room | /room/normal/<id> | The real-time voice room. More → |
| Audio Chat room | /room/audiochat/<id> | The gentler, dubbed-card room with an Echoer. More → |
| Sandbox | /sandbox | Solo practice against an idea, zero audience. Your private warm-up gym. |
Live Classes
| Page | Path | What it's for |
|---|
| Classes lobby | /live-classes | Every teacher who's live right now. Drop in to watch or queue. |
| A teacher's class | /live-classes/<username> | One class per teacher: the deck, the queue, the mic. More → |
Money & account
| Page | Path | What it's for |
|---|
| Credits | /credits | Top up your balance via bank-transfer QR. More → |
| Sign in | /login | Google or password sign-in. Browsing and listening work without it. |

Behind the scenes
A few quiet endpoints keep the experience fast and light — you never visit them directly, but it's
worth knowing the shape of things:
- Room & card audio is served straight from disk and deleted the moment a room ends — nothing lingers.
- Profile clips (your three My Thinkings) are the one bit of audio kept long-term, highly compressed.
- Reactions, avatars, thinking poses, and class images each have their own small upload endpoint.
- Top-ups are confirmed by a payment webhook that matches your transfer and credits you automatically.
