One document, inside the app
Every rule about what good Roxxem content looks like lives in one place: the content guidelines, in the app, next to the editor.
There is no second copy. These help articles tell you where to click; the guidelines tell you what to aim for. If an article ever seems to contradict them, the guidelines are right and the article is the bug — please report it.
What is in there
- What we are optimizing for — why the rules are the way they are. Worth reading once.
- How to read these rules — which rules are enforced automatically, which are a person's judgment, and which are not enforced yet. Read this before assuming something is checked for you.
- Choosing a video — what makes a video worth adding at all.
- Where the text comes from — transcripts, captions, lyrics, and hand-copying.
- Segments — words and phrases — what learners collect and review.
- Translations — what a good translation reads like.
- Vocabulary — which terms are worth teaching.
- Difficulty — how to level a video honestly.
- Skip, empty and duplicate lines — the awkward cases.
- What makes a video publishable — the checks, and the reasons a video is held for a person.
- Open questions — things we have not settled. Do not treat these as rules.
The one thing to take away
Publishable and good are different. The automatic checks ask only whether a video is whole — has a transcript, has timings, has a language. Whether the lines break where a person would break them, whether the translations read naturally, whether the difficulty is right: none of that is checked by anything. That is what the guidelines are for, and it is what review looks at.
Asking Roxxy
Roxxy can read the guidelines, so "how long should a line be?" gets you the actual rule rather than her impression of one. If the answer matters, ask her to point you at the section and read it yourself — the document is short.
