Eggcelent! The first MM Easter Egg hunt is on!

We are introducing our first annual easter egg hunt! Can you find all the eggs hidden in our regions? If so, you can earn an eggtastic new achievement!

Here's a tiny hint as to how they look:

You have about a week's time to find them all before the egg hunt is over. Good luck and happy holidays!

Grammar Lesson & Reading Exercise Settings (hide furigana etc) and a new content batch!

We have some much-requested smaller features in today's update:

We've added settings for both Grammar Lessons and Reading Exercises. Letting you customize the following them to your liking!

You can find the settings menu by clicking the blue settings button at the bottom right of the page (it's hanging fixed on the side)

Grammar Lessons:

Show Furigana:

  • b

    Always

  • b

    Only on hover (or tap on mobile)

Show English:

  • b

    Always

  • b

    Blurred (click to unblur)

Font Size:

  • b

    Adjust the font size of the whole lesson! From 50% to 200%, with each change increasing or decreasing it by 12.5%. Difficulty reading furigana? Say no more fam.

Reading Exercises:

Show Furigana:

  • b

    Same as above!

Font Size:

  • b

    Same as above!

Note that these settings are individual from each other (grammar lessons settings do not influence reading exercises, or reversed), and are device-specific. So you can adjust your settings just the way you want them for mobile and desktop separately!

And, as always, we've just released a new batch of levels for the adventure region. Still going strong on our bi-weekly release schedule!

Wordle and Changelog changes, Teasers of new things to come!

Hello! We've recently deployed a new update containing some quality-of-life changes to the Wordles and this Changelog page that you are looking at right now.

For the wordle minigames, we've reworked the backend so that we can keep track of which words have already been used and also keep track of when you've failed or succeeded in solving them. Aside from solving the duplicate wordle problem, this will also lead to some cool stats in the future, where you can show off how many days in a row you got it, or have a monthly overview of wordles done.

For the changelog, we've added pagination, to prevent everything from loading in at once. At the top, you can find a new button to load newer entries, whereas if you scroll down, it will load older entries. This should make the page a bit more performant, as our changelog entries were getting to a large amount! (Oh how time flies huh!)

We also have two fun teasers to show you for those who missed in on our Discord:

Wonder what this is about.. 🤔

You'll soon be able to share your profile and stats on things like Discord, Twitter, Forums, and wherever else you'd like! You can customize the way you want it to look (images) and which stats to show or not show on it too.

Speaking of Discord, did you know that if you have a lifetime account, you can get early sneak peeks in our exclusive lifetime channel over at the MM Discord?

Have a lovely Sunday and keep up the studying!

Push Notifications, Emojis, Billing Management & more

Yet another update just went live emoji-/images/emojis/marulitblue.png

Let's head into the main feature of today's update.

Push Notifications!

You can now get reminders on your phone or desktop whenever new SRS reviews become available, or a daily reminder to do your lessons.

For review push notifications, you can set a minimum threshold before it will send you a notification (say, at least 10 reviews available).

For your daily lesson reminder, this is set at 10 AM every day, in your selected timezone.

You can enable both options individually on the settings page. If you use multiple devices, be sure to register them all individually.

Note that on Mac, you might need to give your browser explicit permissions to show notifications before they show up.

iOS currently does not support push notifications, but the next OS update (16.4) will likely support it, so soon you will also be able to get MM notifications!


There's also another fun new feature we're introducing today. Perhaps you might've already seen something new in this changelog? emoji-/images/emojis/maruunderwater.png

Emojis

That's right, we've added emojis! 🎉 When you comment on MM you can now type emojis with :nameofemoji: and a small suggestion popup will let you select an emoji to insert into your comment. 🤩

We've also added a few of our own custom emojis (which we will expand upon in the future), all of them starting with maru for the name: emoji-/images/emojis/marubabi.png emoji-/images/emojis/marugrampi.png etc

So it's time to get expressive! 😊


Next to this we have a few new other additions and bugfixes:

New Features:

  • b

    Billing - There is now a separate page to manage your billing details (e.g. to cancel your subscription, update your payment method or look at your invoice details). You can find it by going to the regular billing page.

  • b

    Navbar - Added a nice pulse animation for when you have new (on-site) notifications available (like this changelog!).

  • b

    Study Lists Overview - Changed the progress bar colors of the Study List cards to be green only when the progress is at 100%.

Bug Fixes:

  • b

    SRS Lessons & Reviews - Entering an answer with certain Keyboards on Android in Firefox will no longer require two or three "enter"/next presses for it to submit.
