Anybody know what is going on with Duolingo's monetization model? They where supposed to sell crowd sourced translations, but my impression is hardly anybody is buying and the few users that do translations are mostly translating stuff that doesn't appear to be for commercial purposes.

They dropped translation as a profit model (newer language groups lack "immersion" and they are trying to remove it from older languages with some backlash from existing users.)

They released a remote testing/certification initially for English. They also added and continue to build on class management, but so far that seems to be free.

I'll save a lot of you some time. This is iOS only for now.

Well, this has totally ruined my day. I've ben working on a side project that is essentially this: making and sharing of cards and decks.

Anki already ruined my whole decade AFA writing my own version of this.
