		<p>Contentmatcher is a <a href="https://gia.kompot.si/about.php">GIA</a> prototype that tries to help you engage with your content and share it with other users. It assumes that you have a heap of content that you would like to reconsider. This heap can take many forms such vast libraries of PDFs on your computer or a long lists of bookmarks.</p>

		<p>The app will help you get through this content step by step and continue to show you your content again based on the interest you express as well present you with shared content. If you and at least one more person express a high interest in an <em>item</em> a match will appear on your <a href="{{ url_for('matches.index') }}">matches</a> page. There you can send them an email to talk about the <em>item</em> your interested in.</p>

		<h2>Some definitions:</h2>

		<ul>
			<li>An <em>item</em> is a unit of content (like a PDF you upload).</li>
			<li><em>Items</em> are private by default but they can be shared.</li>
			<li>A <em>collection</em> made up of all your private items and the items shared with you.</li>
			<li>When you start a new session Contentmatcher will create a <em>deck</em>, which is a small part of the <em>collection</em>.</li>
		</ul>

		<h2>Importing your content</h2>

		<p>For now the only way to import content is to <a href='{{ url_for('upload.index')}}'>upload</a> your PDFs. We're figuring out how to add different lists of links like browser bookmarks, liked tweets and "watch later" youtube videos.</p>

		<h2>Sessions</h2>

		<p>Going through sessions is the main activity in using Contentmatcher. A session consists of rating and potentially shareing items in a <em>deck</em>. You can adjust the size of your <em>deck</em> in the settings. In sessions you rate <em>items</em> with <em class="yes">yes</em>, <em class="maybe">maybe</em>, <em class="no">no</em> and <em class="delete">delete</em> buttons. It's weird because there is no question, maybe think of a question like: "Are you really interested in this <em>item</em>?"</p>

		<p>There is also the <em class="share">share</em> button. This will create a new <em>item</em> with this content for all other users, so it will appear in their decks from now on as well.</p>

		<h2>Matches</h2>

		<p>If you and at least one other user rate an item with a <em class="yes">yes</em> then a match will appear on your <a href="{{ url_for('match') }}">matches</a> page. There you can send an email to talk.</p>
