I am trying to build a Django project that renders a daily guide to the user.

1. The user will get a daily guide containing X amount of steps. The steps will be rendered in order.

2. For each step there will be a next or previous step button to jump between steps.(bonus if a step bar to jump to any step)

3. On the last step in the guide, show a "complete" button to mark the guide as finished so the user won't get the same guide again.

4. The guides should be rendered in the same URL if possible so the user can't manually pick their guide by the URL. Example /guide1, /guide2. But instead like /Daily-Guide to show the current daily guide.

What is the best way to build this kind of Django project?

I have tried to do the research on my own and came up with the "Form Wizard" but doesn't seem to be the right choice as I am not collecting anything from the user more then marking the guide as finished.

Do you have any suggestions of functions I can use to build it?

Thanks in advance,

That's entirely subjective. Personally, I'd start with building the backend database, because I like tables. Then I'd put some test data in them. Then I'd start with authentication/authorization to get a working login/logout page. From there, I'd just display the contents of the db. Once I start looking at the data, and how to display, I might realize the database needs some structural changes. Once I get it to where I want to be, adding tasks/groups/guides is the easy part, because you already know exactly what format you need things to be in.
