One thing I’ve been chewing on for months, is that every time I’ve shared a video of myself doing Wanikani reviews, people on this forum & on /r/LearnJapanese express shock that I use no user scripts. I really understand the impulse to have an undo button for cases when you go too quickly and make …

I used to use scripts for the first 3 years I was on here, but after I reset back to level 3 I got rid of them all. Now I don’t use any. I kept experiencing problems with WaniKani when I had them installed and it’s all running smoothly again now without any so I’ll just carry on like this. I’m not h…

When I started WK I set additional challenges to myself: Never use any user script. Never add any user alias, just force myself to remember whatever WK wants me to remember. Never review WK items outside of scheduled reviews. So far I have not regretted these commitments. I was traveling during l…

I’ll always be perplexed and fascinated by the desire to “hard mode” Wanikani. I wonder if it’s a side-effect of the general “gamification” approach WK takes? Maybe it triggers a desire to beat it in the same way someone might try to beat a game without using health potions? Insofar as setting that…

I don’t use scripts not out of pride, but the fact I’m not interested in spending the time finding them, shoving them in, then finding which ones actually work on an old IPhone anyway. (Is that all? Who knows. I’m here to learn Kanji, not find out.)

[image] Asteroth: which ones actually work on an old IPhone anyway. Well, that’s easy. As far as I’m aware, that would be none. Regardless of iPhone age. But cell phones have the apps, the creators of which usually put in things that function the same as userscripts here do.

I actually use AlliCrab. Makes it quicker to tap straight to reviews than using my browser. I have no idea how I would turn on any script features though. (And the app has been janking up for a few days now anyway. So I’ll see how long that lasts)

[image] Asteroth: And the app has been janking up for a few days now anyway. So I’ll see how long that lasts I believe that was due to API issues, so it should theoretically be fixed now.

Nope I don’t use them. Never have.

[image] Chrysus: fwiw, it’s the same on a Mac as Windows or other OS, since the scripts are browser-based rather than OS-based. :stuck_out_tongue: So if you have Firefox/Chrome installed, the process is the exact same since installing TamperMonkey + the scripts is a browser process. I’m hesit…

[image] Lexadis: I’m hesitant to download chrome for Mac :sweat_smile: I’ve read that it takes up a lot of RAM. I found out Tampermonkey is also available on Safari so I might install it if I feel like I need it :smiley: Idk if Chrome for Mac takes up a lot of RAM but from my experience Chrom…
