What's
next?
The education section desperately needs help, it's the only
section other than user settings that hasn't been updated to the
new Jappleng design. It's so horribly broken it's not even funny. I
also need to update user settings and add it to the dashboard. The
vocabulary tracker needs to be complete and so do the games. There
are a few things here and there for clubs and J-Spot as well as the
forums that are missing. Pagination is needed for the search
system, personal albums and some fixes need to be applied for
those. Afterwards I will need to give as much mobile support
without a mobile app and finish dark mode. Those are the things
that come to mind but I do have everything listed in a document and
it's not that much remaining.
