Create your first page

Learn how pages work in Yuhimo and how to start building your knowledge base.

Getting Started · Updated 2026-08-27

Pages are the basic building blocks of Yuhimo.

A page can be a quick note, a long explanation, a reference, a project idea, or a topic you want to study later. You can use pages only for writing, or you can turn selected pages into learning pages when you want to remember them long-term.

What is a page?

A page is where you write and organize knowledge in Yuhimo.

Every page can be used as a normal note. You can store explanations, links, ideas, references, summaries, or anything else you want to keep in your knowledge base.

Learning is optional. A page only becomes part of the review system when you turn on learning for it. See How learning pages work.

What you can put in a page

Pages are designed for lightweight structured notes.

You can use text, links, and tables to organize information. Yuhimo keeps the editor focused so the page stays easy to read and review later.

If you need to reference external files, images, or videos, use links instead of storing them directly inside the page.

Create a page

To create a page, use the new page action in the sidebar or page tree.

The same control can open Generate with AI if you want a first draft instead of a blank page. Review the outline and generated pages before you save. See Create study material with AI.

Give the page a clear title, then start writing your content. If you leave the title empty, Yuhimo may save the page as Untitled until you rename it.

You can keep the page as a simple note, organize it under another page, or import content later with Import / Export if you already have text elsewhere.

Use clear page titles

A good page title makes Yuhimo easier to use.

The title appears in your page tree, in search results, and during review. Search works best with meaningful title words — very short or common queries may be less useful.

Good examples:

  • React useEffect cleanup
  • German modal verbs
  • Project authentication decisions
  • SQL indexes overview

Weak examples:

  • Notes
  • Stuff
  • Article
  • Important

Organize pages in a tree

Yuhimo lets you organize pages in a tree.

A page can contain content and child pages, so a topic can become a branch of related notes. For example, a page called "Frontend" might contain child pages for React, CSS, TypeScript, and performance.

Yuhimo prevents moves that would break the tree — for example moving a page into itself or into one of its own children.

Nested Pages — full guide to hierarchy and moves.

This structure also makes scoped learning sessions more useful later, because you can review a specific branch.

Pages can be notes or learning material

Not every page needs to become learning material.

Some pages are just references, drafts, or temporary notes. Other pages contain knowledge you want to remember.

Start by writing normally. When a page becomes important enough to review over time, turn on learning for it.

When to turn on learning

Turn on learning when a page contains knowledge you want to keep active.

After learning is enabled, Yuhimo can include the page in review sessions and schedule future reviews based on your ratings. You can also add questions to guide recall.

For the full explanation, see How learning pages work.

Example

You want to learn React performance patterns.

You create a parent page called "React Performance".

Inside it, you create child pages:

  • Memoization
  • useMemo
  • React.memo
  • Avoiding unnecessary renders

At first, these are normal notes. Later, you turn on learning for "useMemo" and "React.memo" because you want to remember those concepts long-term.

Good first page ideas

  • A summary of an article you want to remember
  • A technical concept you often forget
  • Vocabulary from a language you are learning
  • Notes from a course
  • Project decisions you want to keep
  • A checklist or reference you use often

Summary

A page is the basic unit of Yuhimo.

Start by writing normal notes. Organize related pages into a tree. When a page contains knowledge worth remembering long-term, turn on learning and Yuhimo can help you review it later.

FAQ

Does every page need to be a learning page?
No. You can use Yuhimo as a regular notes app and only turn on learning for selected pages.
Can a page contain child pages?
Yes. Pages can be nested, so you can organize knowledge into branches.
Can I turn on learning later?
Yes. You can start with a normal page and turn on learning when the content becomes important to remember.
What should I write on my first page?
Start with something useful: a concept, article summary, course note, project decision, or topic you want to organize.
Can I store files or images directly in a page?
No. Use links to external files, images, or videos instead of storing them inside the page.
Will a new page appear in review sessions automatically?
No. A page appears in review sessions only after learning is enabled for it.
