For what it’s worth: I use Firefox on PC and no issues with the MaruMori site.

I see MPV (video player) Mining Plugin on the roadmap, can this replace migaku? or does it have any current integrations with Migaku? I’m curious about people using both marumori and migaku together in their learning journey

Heya!
Not sure what might be causing the issue for you! I haven’t heard of anyone else with that issue, but there is one thing that turned out to be an issue for someone else before:
In your browser settings you have to make sure hardware acceleration is on, as especially the Adventure pages can be quite taxing otherwise (it plays a lot of videos for the animations).
If that doesn’t help, I think you could try with a different browser and see if that problem persists, if not, its likely either a browser setting or an extension causing issues.
Hey no matter what i try even all extensions removed all settings reset to basic fresh firefox install it still happens as soon as i click the register button my ram fills up and nothing happens on the site
here ram usage keeps growing till 12 gigs active and then it just crashes hardware accel is active

Hi everyone! A new mobile app update has been submitted to the app stores! As of publishing this changelog, the iOS update has been approved, but the Android version is still awaiting review from Google. Edit: The Android version has also been approved!
As usual, you can get the mobile apps through the following links:
iOS:
Android:
Please note that currently, in order to access the app, you will need a subscription or a lifetime account, as our mobile app is still in early access until we get it on par with the website!
With that out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff!
This update brings the following things:
New Features:
-
The N2 Region has now been implemented in the mobile app as well! This means both areas of the region can be explored, and the two secret easter eggs (not the actual eggs from the easter egg hunt, haha) can be found in the app as well!
-
Suggest Changes - The suggest changes modal has been implemented for Grammar Lessons and Reading Exercises, meaning you can now give us feedback straight from the app! This functionality will also get implemented for SRS items in the near future. You can access it through the red button near the navbar:
Bugfixes:
-
SRS - Grammar - Unscramble - Submitting a created sentence right after removing a token (by tapping on it) would cause it to be marked as incorrect, even if the sentence was correct. This has been fixed!
-
Conjugation Trainer - Fixed an issue where your answer would be marked as incorrect at times, even when correct. This was due to pressing ENTER/submit before “n” gets converted into “ん”. (e.g. with “たべませn”. If you entered “nn”, it would convert before submitting, so it would not cause a problem).
-
Home - Widgets are now properly center-aligned again
-
Study Lits - Study Lists are now properly center-aligned again.
-
SRS - Lessons - Fixed an issue where trailing spaces could lead to your answer being marked as incorrect.
-
Grammar Lessons - Example Sentences - Fixed an issue where furigana over numbers would sometimes overlap with the numbers.
-
SRS - Fixed an issue where you’d sometimes see an empty tooltip pop up.
-
SRS - Grammar - FITB - Fixed an issue where the text would resize after leaving the app and going back to it.
-
Home - Timeline - The timeline now always refreshes properly.
That’s all for now, but expect more mobile app goodness to come very soon!

And if you go straight to https://marumori.io/register from the link in this mesage? Does it do the same?
Perhaps you could try registering through a different browser (or a mobile device) and see if you can login straight through https://marumori.io/login afterwards. Perhaps it’s the landing page that’s causing issues for you. Once logged in it will not load that page again anymore.

Hey clicking the link also causes the same issue. I have however been able to diagnose the issue its caused by a paid Firefox feature called relay. It Allows me to obscure my emails and something about the Maru mori specific registration form caused it to recursively load itself. Everything works now too bad I didn’t figure it out in time for the sale tho 
Thank you for the help.

Glad to hear it was resolved! That does remind me that I’ve heard someone else mention that Firefox Private Relay was causing some issues for them (though that wasn’t for registering, I think).
Considering you wanted to try it out during the sale period, but this problem held you back, feel free to email us at support @ marumori.io, and we can likely work something out if you are still interested when your trial runs out

Would it be possible to make “Continue where you left off in Fledgling Forest” open the popup with the actual lesson and “Start lesson” button? Or even open the lesson itself (no harm in it, each requires confirmation of having it “done” at the end)
EDIT: also one additional thing - would it be possible to add handling [ESC] key to modal dialogues? Clicking outside of them closes them but as I’m more keyboard-guy (and there is a lot of typing either way) it would be easier to dismiss those with the escape key

N2 Content Drop
Another N2 content drop has hit the rift! Uhh, I mean, the island! More specifically, the Sands of Mastery! And speaking of mastery, how’s everyone’s journey to Japanese mastery going? No one’s doing too many lessons and burning out like a meteor made of kanji, right? There absolutely is not, and was never, a channel referring to burnouts or anything along those lines in our discord server, after all. 
In this week’s batch, we’ve got some fantastic grammatical musings for you. There’s ～とは, which is exceptionally handy for definitions, ～をもとにして, for when we want to say that the novel we’re writing is based on our own lives (a tragedy), and ～にそって, for all sorts of “following” statements (you won’t believe how this one ends!!!).
What’s more, another cultural lesson awaits you, and it’s the absolute winner in terms of tasty content on MaruMori (so far). Let’s just say, if you didn’t know much about traditional Japanese treats, you’re about to know a lot, whether you want to or not.
And as usual, a swathe of amusing unlocks as well await you, not to be outdone by a reading exercise where you can practice reading all of your recent grammar and vocabulary, in context! In this week’s reading, we have an unexpected hanami follow-up, a TV interview, and a peek at the MaruMori Bistro menu, which is very important; we’re working on our own Chef’s Table instalment.
That’s all for now, and always,
Happy studies!

The former would be possible I think! The second not so much, as we also have exercise tiles. The lesson modal first explains what the exercise is about, so skipping that would leave out some vital information.

[ESC]key to modal dialogues? Clicking outside of them closes them but as I’m more keyboard-guy (and there is a lot of typing either way) it would be easier to dismiss those with the escape key
I believe this is already the case with most of the modals at the moment, though I think a few are missing it. If you come across any in particular, feel free to let me know and I’ll put it on my list

I would very much appreciate the first one <3
The second - that’s a valid point, but maybe this could be moved/repeated in the lesson itself?
That’s easy as I face it a lot: in the review view modals for Meaning (to add synonym) and then Meaning Story/Reading can’t be closed with [esc]

Website Update! Flip Buttons Mode for SRS, Manual SRS Lessons Picking, Lightning mode modifier, improvements and a whole bunch of bugfixes!
Hey everyone!
We’ve finally had some time to focus on some smaller (but oh so fun) new features, improvements, and bugfixes for the website again!
Let’s get into it!
New Features:
- SRS - Vocabulary & Kanji - You can now toggle on Flip Buttons Mode during the lesson quiz and reviews! This means you get a button for “Show” on the front side of an SRS card, and two new buttons on the back side for “Correct” and “Wrong”.
When this mode is enabled, you have to grade yourself by using the buttons, and the input gets removed, so no typing is involved!
This is mainly handy for when you are on mobile devices, where typing can be much slower and prone to typos, or when you have a huge stack of reviews to go through.
Watch out though! In general, retention rates are higher when you type things out, so use it with care!
- For keyboard users, you can use the following hotkeys while the mode is enabled:
- SPACE - Show
- G - Correct
- H - Wrong
- These hotkeys can also be changed on the settings page (see screenshot below)!
-
SRS - Lightning Mode SHIFT modifier key - If you have lightning mode enabled but want to disable it for the current item, you can now hold SHIFT while pressing ENTER. It will then show the backside of the card, even if the answer is correct (normally, it would skip the backside with lightning mode on).
-
SRS - Mark As Known Hotkey - We’ve added a new hotkey option for marking items as known during SRS sessions. You can go to the settings page to set up the new hotkey.
-
Recently Studied / Leeches - Each table now shows how many items you’ve selected on top of the table.
-
SRS - Lightning Mode now has separate modes for Vocab/Kanji vs Grammar SRS.
-
SRS - Typo allowance has been changed to be a bit stricter.
-
Study Lists - Manage Items - You can now start a new lesson session with items you selected. Meaning you can now pick your own lessons for the day! Super handy when going through any of the parsed native material lists, for example!
Bugfixes:
-
Recently Studied - Fixed an issue where turning the “Mistakes Only” filter on would skip certain items and filter them from the view.
-
Stories - Fixed an issue where certain “elements” used in stories would not render properly during SRS.
-
Grammar Lessons - Exercises - Fixed an issue where the input would not automatically convert from romaji to kana in Firefox browsers.
-
Dictionary - Fixed an issue where certain (counter) Vocabulary would not show the contained Kanji.
-
Adventure - Unlocks Page - Fixed an issue where definitions would sometimes wrongly get cut off, leading to weird definitions for items.
-
Statistics - Your streak now sorts properly before counting, fixing gaps that arose when “fixing” streaks by changing your timezone
-
Grammar SRS - Fixed an issue with furigana sometimes displaying on fake tokens when it shouldn’t, thus giving away the answer.
That’s all for now! But in the background we’re working on a few exciting things, so keep an eye out for more updates soon!

Question. I’m a bit curious about this platform, but I find it a bit too expensive (I don’t really like subscriptions, so I’m really looking at lifetime here). So far I’m very happy with wanikani. So much that even if I was not totally convinced about bunpro after the demo I still paid for the lifetime subscription, just to give it another chance, see if it works. Right now I’d say I don’t really think SRSing grammar is a good idea. So the thing is, what do you offer for practicing grammar besides SRS? I’m also taking in person classes, and we usually do exercises from Minna no Nihongo which I find useful, and something I’ve yet to find on any learning website is a good selection of exercises. I mean, I can buy a textbook and do them by hand, but I’m already doing that in class, and also, who would correct them? So I don’t know why there are no websites with varied grammar exercises.
