The dictionary has gotten a big upgrade today. Thousands of new words, many have been revised.

Most of the dictionary now contains data including stroke order if it is a singular kanji, JLPT level, grade taught, many examples in English, Japanese with Kanji and Japanese without the Kanji. There is also other features included as well.

A heap of issues regarding the dictionary system has been resolved, a lot of manual labor as well spaning a few days to make these entries correct. There is still some issues when searching for words, this will be resolved at the next update. There will also be a "add to vocabulary list" which immediately becomes available in your flashcards on the next update.

I manually did an override on your account. Please let me know how it works. If all is well, then I'll proceed to look into the code to ensure this doesn't happen again to anyone else. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm preparing for yet another update today. I'm deciding what to do because I'm a bit tired of working on apps and would like to focus on making the site more interesting like adding new lessons or making it more mobile compatible etc...

The pronunciation guide (lesson) has been updated. This was long overdue but the voice guide did not reflect the text guide and there were about 5 omissions in the text. All is fixed now I think. Please let me know if there continues to be an issue.

Mind you that the flashcards are in a BETA stage. Please report all bugs you may experience.
I haven't included all the features yet and I don't believe it is mobile compatible YET but it may work on your mobile device.

Next, I will upload the KanaPop! app when it is ready for beta. Please give me a bit of time to finish preparing it

Jappleng's release announcement : February 10, 2020

Jappleng will be releasing in a few days! Yes, you heard this right!

Wait it isn't? Not entirely. The dev version is up but it's incomplete AND the site hasn't been announced on the web. So the people here are just here by coincidence / word of mouth. The site itself isn't even complete right now and doesn't support mobile devices.

What new features are coming? Version 1.95 (beta release)

Kana Pop! - New kana training game. It's Retro-styled so think about a a free NES / SNES game that you can play.
Flash Cards - The flash cards will be complete and connected to your vocabulary
Improved dictionary - New features and words will be added to our dictionary!
Mobile Support - Site-wide mobile support will be added. Kindly note that we don't have a mobile app yet. However this will be in the works in the next phase.
Site-wide bug fixes: Many bugs will be fixed
Education enhancements: Various enhancements / completion to the education section will be made
New lessons: New lessons will be added
Embed images from the gallery and kaomoji access everywhere posting is permitted (given some restrictions)
New Emblem: A new emblem will be added and handed out to everyone who registers before the release! This emblem will be only for people whom have registered BEFORE the release. Flaunt it away!
Newsletters: I will attempt to send out newsletters to everyone.
Sharing / Search engine safe titles, descriptions, and other meta definitions for all pages
Improved system to invite guests to register

Version 1.96 (next week)

Tutorial on how to use the site
Daily login bonus
More lessons will be added
Bug fixes

When are these features releasing?

On Valentines Day, Friday February 14!

When will the community be super active?

I hope shortly after the release. It all depends on YOU, the community. Jappleng is free to use, it has all the features you could ever want in a J-community and these features will continue to expand. Please take advantage of this project. I wish this project existed when I began my journey learning Japanse.

Please help spread the word! Tell your friends on social media, other forums, reddit, etc... Jappleng has zero web presence and no one knows about it yet. I work on this project on my own and hope that I can rely on your support to get the word out. Thank you!!

I get that the community has really no activity unless I ask people to help and there hasn't been a posted update in a week.

However, this is the calm before the storm. I've been hard at work on things, surprises even... What could they be I wonder? Why have I not said anything for a week? Hmmm.... Guess you'll find out in a few days.

Let's just say it's everything and more. smile
