Before popping off to Japan, I mentioned that after coming back (and, it turns out, after catching up on things), I would be primarily spending my time on TextFugu. Something nice like 60-70%. That time started about a week and a half ago, and I think I have a better idea of what’s going on and when it will go on. Keep in mind, this is a super rough estimate, so be nice.
Right now: Right now I’m working on the backend of things. It’s not going to be the complete rewrite from scratch I was hoping to do, but it is a huge improvement. There’ll be a new payment system, which if you’ve run into certain problems with certain payment thing (as a decent of you have), you’ll agree there needs to be improvement. Also being added is the ability to keep track of your lessons. If you stop in the middle of the lesson it will know where you stopped, and there will be quizzes as well (don’t worry, the quizzes will be great). Anyways, there’s a lot that’s getting upgraded on the backend that will affect the front end, which comes next.
Soon: After the backend changes, there will probably be some front-end design updates as well. Mainly to make room for a lot of the backend additions, but also to make room for new lesson types.
Next: After the backend is done, and after the frontend is done, it’ll be time to push the update. During all this backend / frontend / middle-end, there will be advanced lessons being worked on. When I push the update out I want to also include these. I’m hoping 20 or so lessons geared towards intermediate to advanced self-study. Maybe more, maybe less, but that’s the goal.
After: After this update goes up, then it’s time to go back to the main lessons again. The current lessons won’t work with the new fancier lessons, so things will be converted over. Right around here my vision becomes hazy, so I’ll stop there.
Things may get switched around a bit, and things may change, but that should give you an idea of where I’m headed with things. Maybe the backend / frontend changes will go live before the lessons. Maybe something else will happen before all that. The future is hard to predict, so more updates to come soon, maybe with hawt pics.
