The Jappleng mobile app is under development and you will be
able to learn on-the-go!
Web technologies are very limited and difficult to work with
and I always hated working on websites to boot. When COVID started
with lockdowns and stuff, I decided that my career as a web
developer should adapt as a game developer instead. I dislike
working on websites but I love working on games. For 6 months I
studied game development with the unreal game engine and have
become proficient at it.
Needless to say, the Jappleng mobile app is easy to build in
contrast to the website. It takes a fraction of the time to build
practice apps (like Kana Pop, Card Match etc...) and educational
features. As such, the sky is the limit with what can be used to
help teach Japanese and I will certainly make use of this.
The mobile app is currently under private testing and will be
tested by public participants next week. A full release is expected
to arrive around the end of October, although Apple, Unreal, and
Google all have to approve the app prior to publication. Give or
take a week afterwards to be seen on the Apple / Play store.
I hope you are all very excited! I'll be able to focus my time
towards making many new lessons rather than focusing on website
things in the near future since both the website and app will have
launched. :D
