Daily quest + Getting Started exploration
Last updated May 15, 2026 · 4 min read
Slima has two lightweight quest types: the daily quest (hit your daily word goal) and Getting Started (a one-shot, 6-step exploration). Both are low-pressure nudges — completion is rewarded; missing has no penalty.
Daily quest
Resets daily. Just one task:
- Hit your daily word goal
When you hit it → the motivation card shows "Daily goal complete!" + streak ticks up + a small celebration.
If you haven't set a daily word goal yet, this quest doesn't appear — set one in the daily-goal control at the bottom of the file-explorer side panel.
Getting Started (exploration)
Click the motivation widget to open Your Writing Tree detail. The right panel shows Getting Started 3/6:
| # | Task | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create your first book | A work to write into |
| 2 | Write 100 words | Actually write your first paragraph |
| 3 | Set a daily writing goal | Activates the daily quest |
| 4 | Export your work | Know how to take your data out |
| 5 | Start Pro trial | Experience the paid features |
| 6 | Try the AI Coach | Talk to AI Coach once |
As you finish each of the 6, it ticks off in the "Your Writing Tree" panel — the checklist's job is to walk you through the core features once.
When all are done, you see:
You've mastered Slima's core features!
Quests vs the motivation system
| Daily quest | Getting Started | Streak | writing tree | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reset | Daily | Once (permanent) | Consecutive days | Continuous |
| Trigger | Hit daily word goal | Complete 6 onboarding tasks | Write every day | Daily watering |
| After | Streak +1 + card celebration | Each ticks off | Stage upgrade | Tree growth visual |
| Miss | No effect | No effect; resume any time | Auto-consume rest protection / hibernate | Tree enters rest |
Why designed this way
Slima doesn't use "quest bonuses" to bribe you into writing. The tasks exist to:
- Lower first-time friction — Getting Started maps the 6 features you should touch at least once
- Daily affirmation — Daily quest turns "I wrote today" into a checkable beat
- No punishment — every quest is opt-in; skipping it doesn't break anything
