Jappleng was momentarily abandoned in June shortly after its release due to financial hardships, however now those hardships are over and more time can be allocated to further development and improvements of the project. However, many changes will have to happen and we will need your input about them.

Presently there are a few people interested in helping in the future development of Jappleng and we’re excited to hear this however what we need to know is what the public wants to see out of Jappleng. Here are a few questions that we hope you may provide us feedback for.

Q1) What do you want out of Jappleng? Ie: Social Networking, Learning Japanese etc…
Q2) What do you like the most about Jappleng? (Top 3 is best)
Q3) What do you dislike the most about Jappleng? (Top 3 is best)
Q4) If you could have one thing done to the site, what would it be?
Q5) What would make you and perhaps others come back to the site on a regular basis?
Q6) Rank the following from least important to most important to you:
Japanese Language | J-Culture | J-Pop Culture (Anime/Jpop)
Q7) How important is mobile support for Jappleng to you?

You may leave those Q with answers in the comments below, please be brutally honest! The more honest you are, the more likely we can succeed at making it work for the community. If you are from Twitter as a Guest, you can DM @Jappleng with feedback.

What is Jappleng’s Purpose?
Initially I wanted to unify the J-Community with a feature-rich website that became Jappleng of today. However, people might have a different opinion on what they want out of the project so that’s what we’re hoping to get from your opinions.

When will work happen?
It’s happening right now, although it’s just planning and figuring out what to do next. Perhaps we will begin actual development on the project in a few days or a week or two. It depends on how much feedback we get and how soon we get them.

Is staff needed?
Yes, staff is needed. We need people with a varying of skills. If you like the concept of Jappleng and love Japan, then you can sign up with us. Just send Mark a private message or comment below. We don’t make money so we can’t pay but we can at least build a fantastic community together!
