Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

some thoughts

I was writing a post about some things, but most of them were already covered in other posts. So I wanted to first ask you guys, do you prefer people to scroll to all of the posts and answer to every post individually, thus having to write a lot of different posts of which many wont even be read because of the way this forum works. Or start a new thread about everything at once?

Also, about suggestions that were already mentioned, do you consider it usefull if people mention them again?

Anyway, since I deleted what I wrote already anyway just one question:

Some improvements are about adding new stuff, some about making existing stuff better. What are you guys giving most priority to? We have the new practice page now of course. Are you focusing now on new features or stuff like better layout etc.? I'm just curious

Either works. I guess I like the combined threads. We don't have threading, but usually the threads don't get too long.

Suggestions already mentioned: go for it. We probably have it on our list, but if you bring it up again, it becomes higher in priority. And it's often been the case that someone will suggest something in a slightly different way and I'll realize that it's great or not hard at all or we could do it this way instead, where I hadn't been thinking of it in the right way before.

For new stuff, I'm getting the pinyin and definition turned on and finishing a couple features that are mostly built. There's a lot of old fixes, usability tweaks, and recognition and vocab tweaks overdue, though, so that would come next before big things like etymologies, mnemonics, and character decompositions. Scott's following a similar path, getting Japanese released, then doing usability stuff and a big project to fix the vocab lists system.
