My gosh, so insane! Thank you so much, Asher and Haruna!! And thank you, @pushindawood for constant updates, you’re just onto me right, adding more exactly when I finish the previous ones
Hi! Just wanted to mention that a LipSurf user has made a prototype plugin to use LipSurf with Bunpro. What does this mean?
improve your recall by activating a different part of your brain
get comfortable speaking Japanese faster
use Bunpro hands-free
If you have feedback, we would love to see it on the LipSurf forum post (in step 2 below) so we don’t hijack this thread. See these two posts on how to get started right away:
@mikob Thank you so much for letting me know! I have cross-posted your comment over on the Bunpro Community. Thank you for this wonderful service and thank you @okonomichiyaki for creating this plugin. Cheers!
@Aleithian Hey! Thank you for the kind words and for becoming a Lifetime Member! We believe that Bunpro can definitely help you get back into studying Japanese and growing with the language. This is still the best version of the iOS app. @Rion has been constantly working on and updating it. We hope that it won’t be too much longer before we can implement fully native and offline reviews. Cheers!
I really like it so far. The extensive audio and examples are great for reinforcing and illustrating the basic lesson. The SRS system seems well constructed though I’ve only done basic N5 stuff so far. I definitely see the value of going slow - savoring each new lesson and reading through the extensive list of additional resources.
I would love to use Bunpro but I tried it and it was extremely slow. I saw on the Bunpro forum that I’m not the only one experiencing this.
Is it going to be fixed someday? My trial is over and it bothers me to pay for something that doesn’t work…
But if it’s fixed in the future I would definitely buy a lifetime plan
Same. I’ve read about users experiencing slow load times (And I do have the occasional one or two second delay), but all in all the site isn’t really that slow for me. Might be browser or location dependent?
It really does bother me sometimes too. The site works but it’s just slow at times. I will click reviews or search something and it will take a long time to go through. I have tried in several locations and on different browsers and still the same problem happens.
Same… I tried on three different computers, with different browsers and it was still slow everywhere.
It’s so sad since Bunpro seems to be very good and helpful otherwise
What bothers me the most is that people are complaining about loading time since 2018 and nothing seems to have changed
They did respond quite a few times though, they were saying they can’t reproduce the issue on their end, and it seems to be quite a random one. They already did some things to improve it. Though I do hope they find the real solution soon.
Previously you needed to sign up and be logged in to see any grammar. Now anyone can see the Lite version of each grammar point without an account. This will allow you to share a link to a grammar point and have the open graph protocol preview show.
There is a “Share” option that copies the URL. You can find it below the Structure section.
New Mobile Side Drawer
Navigation on mobile was, to put it gently…awful. The new mobile side drawer should make navigation much easier. Please let us know if you have any feedback.
Additionally, the updates will include more transparency on changes and bug fixes. In the past they were simply notes as “Minor Changes” or “Various Bug Fixes”. This doesn’t give you any insight into the work that goes on behind the scenes. Going forward the changes will be listed out in more detail.
A public roadmap & release calendar - While not here yet, we do hope to implement both of these in the near future to better organize feedback and give you a sense of the direction of the site.
Bug with how reviews tracked total times correct/incorrect
Bug with Sale banner appearing when it shouldn’t
Changes
Audio now loads on demand in example sentences rather than being preloaded.
Page speed optimizations to reduce render time
Overall reduction in asset file size (roughly 3x reduction)
Remember me is checked by default
Dark Mode is now the default (if you use another theme, this will only affect you when logged out)
[Dark Mode] - Change hover color in navbar
Color change for example sentence name highlighting to make it more visible for those with color blindness
Classic Theme Sunsetting
Classic theme still exists but won’t be supported in upcoming UI changes or across new features
We want to make the modern themes (light or dark) appealing so please provide any feedback on changes that will make the transition easier for you.
We’re hiring
Just a small plug: maybe you or someone you know would be amazing for one of the open positions we have! Competitive pay, fully remote, flex time and a bunch of other benefits
As always, we value your feedback, suggestions and criticisms and will continue to do our best to iterate upon and improve Bunpro.
Thanks for the update news, especially the page speed optimization is much appreciated. Looking forward to encounter all the other goodies as I go along.
And thank you, 
New Bunpro and Kitsun.io plugins now available! - Official - LipSurf
I’ll get good use out of this in the Book Clubs when referring to grammar points.
