Hi everyone, I am Scott a new developer working in the engineering team here at Tofugu. I have been working quietly behind the scenes for the last six months, but today I have something to share with you all. Starting next Monday (21 November 2022) we will begin retiring Script Compatibility Mode …

[image] NicoleIsEnough: What I would like to know is: Are there any parts of the frontend that have not been switched to React yet? And if so, when are you planning to switch them over? Yes there are parts of the frontend that are not using React. I recently updated all subject and level pag…

Hey Scott, Do you see legacy reviews getting pulled before the end of the year or is it still to be determined? The /user endpoint of the API is currently returning a wanikani_compatibility_mode property under preferences. Will that be removed at/around the time legacy reviews are pulled? Thanks! …

Thank you for the heads up, Scott. If all the scripts I’m using break, I will cry. At least I have almost a week to prepare mentally. :crabigator: :crabigator: :crabigator:

I’m hoping new features would be things like having a Recent Burned Mistakes Items under Burned Items and maybe some custom Graded Readers for WaniKani users. Like a Graded Reader section for levels 1-10, 11-20, etc.

This seems totally reasonable. Maintaining legacy code is extremely painful, especially for a relatively small team. The fact that you guys have tried to be conscientious about it for so long is very kind. Any user scripts that depend on a specific DOM structure or selector queries are always going…

I personally won’t miss the script compatibility mode. On the one hand it was useful for keeping old scripts alive, but on the other hand it burdened userscript authors (and WK developers) with having to maintain/test against two versions of WaniKani. Or maybe even three versions if we include https…

BEM has nothing to do with React. It’s just a CSS naming structure that can reduce or eliminate selector specificity issues, making the code more modular and the styles less affected by where they appear in the DOM. I seriously doubt they would abandon React.
