Sharing pages and questions

Sharing on ImtehanHub uses standard web URLs — every public page is shareable just by copying the address bar. Specific surfaces (test results, referral codes, blog posts) have a more polished share button that pre-fills the share text and includes your referral code. Three friends sign up through your link AND each take a test → you auto-upgrade to Pro.

TL;DR — Click the Share button where you see it. Your referral code is auto-appended to the URL. Three successful referrals = one month of Pro for free.

What is shareable​

Any public URL on ImtehanHub:

  • Home (/)
  • Subjects browse (/subjects/...)
  • Chapter detail (/subjects/c9/physics/kinematics)
  • Blog posts (/blog/:slug)
  • Knowledge-base entries (/learn/:id/:slug)
  • About / Pricing / Contact

What is not shareable as a public URL:

  • App pages requiring sign-in (/app/...).
  • Admin pages.
  • Specific test sessions (those carry your auth context).

The share button​

On surfaces with a polished share UX (test results, blog posts, knowledge-base entries, chapter pages), a Share button opens the native share sheet (Web Share API on mobile and recent desktop browsers; falls back to a copy-to-clipboard dialog).

The pre-filled share content includes:

  • The page title.
  • A short description.
  • The URL with your referral code appended (?ref=XXXX).

Example shared link from a Class 9 Physics chapter:

Class 9 Physics — Kinematics MCQs and Practice — ImtehanHub Practice MCQs, short, and long questions for Kinematics, all referenced to your textbook. Free for Pakistani students. https://imtehanhub.aoneahsan.com/subjects/c9/physics/kinematics?ref=ABC123

Referral codes​

Every signed-in user has a referral code visible on their Profile page (/app/profile). Format: 4-8 alphanumeric characters, case-insensitive, unique per account.

The code:

  • Auto-appends to URLs you share via the Share button.
  • Can be appended manually to any URL: https://imtehanhub.aoneahsan.com/?ref=ABC123.
  • Is captured on the recipient's first visit (stored in localStorage as imtehanhub:referredBy=ABC123).
  • Is recorded on their user document on sign-up.

When 3 friends sign up using your code AND each take at least one test, you are auto-upgraded to Pro for 1 month. The mechanic is described in detail under Quotas and plans.

Sharing a test result​

After you submit a test, the result page shows a Share result button. Click to share:

  • Your score.
  • The chapter and class.
  • A "Try this chapter yourself" link with your referral code appended.

The share text is intentionally not braggy — students react better to "I scored 80% on Class 9 Kinematics — try the same chapter" than to "I'm the best!" content.

Sharing on WhatsApp​

WhatsApp is the primary share channel for Pakistani students. The Web Share API on Android opens WhatsApp natively. On desktop, the fallback dialog has a "Share via WhatsApp" option that opens web.whatsapp.com with the share text pre-filled.

Share-text length is kept under WhatsApp's preview-friendly limit (~150 chars before the URL).

Sharing on social media​

The share sheet exposes Twitter / Facebook / LinkedIn options on supported platforms. Open Graph tags ensure the shared link previews with the correct title, description, and image (a chapter-specific OG card on chapter pages, a generic ImtehanHub card on others).

Sharing a community submission​

The community submission detail page (/community/submission/:id) has its own Share button. The shared link includes the submission ID — the recipient (if signed in and verified) sees the submission directly.

Print​

Some students prefer to print rather than share digitally. Most surfaces support browser-native print:

  • Knowledge-base entries print cleanly with hidden navigation.
  • Chapter detail prints the topic list and counts (useful for offline study).
  • Test results print the score ring + per-topic breakdown + answer-by-answer review.

A dedicated "print this chapter's MCQs as A4 PDF" feature is on the roadmap.

Common questions​

What if I do not want to use my referral code?​

Strip the ?ref= parameter manually from the URL before sharing. The recipient will not be tagged as your referral.

Can I have multiple referral codes?​

One per account. If you want to track different sources, append your own UTM parameters: ?ref=ABC123&utm_source=whatsapp&utm_campaign=class9-revision.

Does ImtehanHub track who I shared with?​

Only when the recipient signs up using your code. We do not see who you shared with otherwise — the share itself happens through your browser's share sheet, which is OS-mediated.

Can I disable the referral code on my shares?​

Yes — toggle "Append referral code to shared links" off on /app/profile. Default is on.

Do referral codes work on shared community submissions?​

Yes — the same code is appended.
