Tofugu have released a Japanese Grammar Index.
What do you guys think?
It looks well researched. It’s not a guide, like Tae Kim’s, but maybe it will be tied to Tofugu’s Learn Japanese: A Ridiculously Detailed Guide, with pages referenced, as Index would suggest.
Maybe this is Koichi’s solution to EtoEto.
Or maybe this will become part of etoeto one day 
It looks nice! It’d be cool if they added some sort of list view/table of contents, but other than that I’m excited to peruse it.
This is great. Yet another useful resource 
I took a look at the articles on conditional と、たら、なら, as well as some other articles and it looks like they really put a lot of research into them ! Excited to see where it is going.
Oh nice 
I will look at this in detail when I’m home and not on mobile
I learnt something new already:
Agree that it needs some kind of search though.
Well, お楽しみですね。 
Wow yes thank you for linking this one!
That’s where that comes from?!
It makes me wonder… did the ～み inflected nouns originally come from the 連用形 of む動詞 or from this nounification of 形容詞.
Yes. I quickly checked, and 楽しみ is even listed in the article (it’s the second one that came to mind after 旨み, so not surprising :p)
I have no idea. I don’t even know how to look up the history of grammatical structures 
Carvs would know, I guess, but they haven’t been on the forum in a while…
My mind is well and truly blown. I’m not sure where I thought that construction came from also, can you tell I rarely look at examples? 
悲しみ and 痛み are really common as well, which only further supports my question about them coming from the verb! Of course, it’s also possible that it went like
The fact that some of the most common ones have both 形容詞 and 動詞 versions is suspicious though…
Where’s @Carvs when you need him.
Tofugu’s search function has been broken for a long time now, apparently.
And searching certain grammar points from Search Engine of our choice (Google, DuckDuckGo, etc) is considered not to be user friendly for the most user I think.
Looks like they did finally add a link to their Grammar Index down the bottom of the Intermediate Level Japanese section.
They’ve added these pages at the top to help make things a little more structured.
