You may have found it already (there’s a couple links on WaniKani now—e.g. in the footer, and in the avatar menu), but I want to share here that we started a blog for WaniKani. We probably should have built one in 2011 or so, but figure that it’s better late than never.
The one thing we post in the community forum here is that will move to the blog is the content changes / movements / updates. We’ll still post something in the forums and link out to the post itself, though, so if you use the forum as your way of noticing those changes it’ll still be there.
We’ll hopefully post other things, too. But, starting small. I’m hoping to share more behind the scenes type things on there going forward.
If there’s anything you want me or the team to write about, let us know so we can either write about them, or we can write a behind the scenes post about why we couldn’t write about all the posts you asked for
The majority of users come to the forums here to see any updates and/or news. If we’re moving those onto yet another platform, that’s one more link people will need to click. It’s been scientifically proven the more links/clicks people need to get through, the less engagement (less and less members will bother).
For extra posts, Tofugu is there. Unless it’s a completely different topic from WaniKani/Japanese.
The final decision will be yours at the end of the day, but I am curious on why. I’d also imagine it will create more work/expenses to open up a new site just for that? Might it actually be unnecessary?
It’s convenient to see the content changes on a dedicated page! Much easier than searching through the forums. But when I click on the more cats button nothing happens.
These are a useful resource (in the Community pages & the new blog) so thanks to all involved.
I don’t know if you & the team have time to checkout the many 3rd party tools but Wanilog added something recently that I feel could probably come from Wk itself.
It has added an historical info link to each item’s page to display the changes that have been made.
The reason I value this is that it provides a way to sort out mental confusion when I am figuring out why I failed an item and I find stories I have never seen.
From its changelog:

It’s the Koichi
