1. Login is now enabled again. Registration remains disabled to prevent spam since there are no measures against it right now.

2. I finally figured out how to go about making Jappleng useful and enjoyable.

3. I'm content with the new layout design concept. I'll work towards refining it until I'm really happy with it. It looks nothing like current Jappleng.

4. I can see myself working on Jappleng again. I'll be working on it during my breaks or evenings since I have another major project I'm contending with. Contrary to Jappleng, that one is for-profit so I kinda need to focus more on that other thing if I want to eat.

5. Unfortunately I had to format my computer after an unwelcomed windows update broke it and I'm still uncertain what e-mail I used for discord. I likely won't be back on there for some time. You can contact me here or on Twitter.

6. I found someone who's likely to help with the Japanese lessons since I'm crazy rusty with it (I don't ever use Japanese anymore) so we'll work together at making amazing content.

Hope to hear from you all now that login works again!  I'll be posting on Twitter later tonight to let you guys know. Toodaloo!

Looks good. Real good. I like this direction. Will keep trying new designs until i feel happy lol

Desinging something completely new is going to be tough though :P

The new editor is quite nice because it is configurable so that it can be used to create new threads, reply to posts, create new lessons etc... It doesn't rely on odd markup languages like you would often see in wiki-like websites. As a bonus, you'll be able to load pre-existing templates, create and save your own, and include fun modules within posts. For example, you could make it so that your post includes images and a poll or a quiz or include things from your youtube account or Twitch channel etc... There's also the inclusion of stickers which each have their own interactive element. For instance, if you unlock the 8-ball sticker, clicking on it will give you an 8 ball response.

The list goes on and on and it's exciting. I have yet to add the ability to paste images with an automatic upload / resize system but this is something I look forward to creating soon. Essentially every feature that was on Jappleng, I'm making a much better / completed version of it that can be transported from section to section. Less code, cleaner code, can be moved around anywhere, changing it will change it everywhere etc... It benefits everyone in the end since the current iteration of Jappleng isn't manageable.

Ultimately I hope to assemble a staff to maintain Jappleng from new content to games to mobile etc... But I have to work on a good foundation first.  Afterwards, new content and features will be made available really quick. Until next time!
