+## Website Use-Cases
+
+The beginner website entries are use-case bounded:
+
+| Use-case | Website owner says | Public entry |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Viewer | "Put stars on my page and let me customize the scene." | `embed.js`, `viewer.js` |
+| Data | "Give me star data so I can render, list, map, or game it myself." | `data.js` |
+
+`embed.js` is the no-code viewer entry. It is not a separate use-case.
+`viewer.js` is the JavaScript-customizable viewer entry. `data.js` is renderer
+independent. Authored chapters stay in website or lesson code and call SkyKit
+navigation actions directly.
