<h2 class="text-xl font-semibold">What is the philosophy here?</h2>
<p>
We are building networks of people who want to grow a gifting society.
First of all, you can record ways you've seen people give, and that
leaves a permanent record... one that they show came from you. This is
personally gratifying, but it extends to broader work: volunteers can
get confirmation of activity and selectively show off their
contributions and network.

<h2 class="text-xl font-semibold">How do I take my first action?</h2>
<p>
You need someone to register you -- usually the person who told you
about this app, on the Contacts
<fa icon="circle-user" class="fa-fw" /> page. After they register you,
and after you have contacts, you can select any contact on the home page
and record your appreciation for... whatever. That is a claim recorded
on a custom ledger. The day after being registered, you'll be able to
register others; later, you can create projects, too.
</p>
<p>
Note that there are limits to how many each person can register, so you
may have to wait.

<h2 class="text-xl font-semibold">How do I backup all my data?</h2>
<p>
There are two parts to backup your data: the identifier secrets and the
other data such as settings, contacts, etc.

How do I get permission to store claims on the server?
</h2>
<p>
Get registered by someone else with the app; they can register you on
the Contacts <fa icon="circle-user" class="fa-fw" /> page. There are
limits to how many each person can register, so you may have to wait.
</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-semibold">What do you mean by "claims"?</h2>
<p>
Certain actions in this app are signed by your private keys, and these
are often called "claims". For example, when you give time to a person
or project, you sign a claim declaring that you gave that time. When you
declare a project, you sign a claim declaring it to the world. When you
confirm someone else's claim, you sign a claim of agreement.
</p>
<p>
Some of the data in this app does not involve claims, such as your
contact list and your identifier.
