SaulOfTheJungle··on macOS Big Sur
I can confirm point 4.

I have a small, open-source Chrome/Firefox extension that has about 260 active users.

I was considering porting it to Safari, but I can't justify the $99/year fee for it.

SaulOfTheJungle··on Apple delivers a new redesigned Maps for users in the United States
I agree.

The only reason I'm still using Google Maps on my iPhone is because of Apple Map's Yelp integration.

I boycott Yelp because of how they've treated businesses.

SaulOfTheJungle··on TLDR pages: Simplified, community-driven man pages
> No, they serve two different purposes.

I don't see why they could not serve both purposes.

No offence taken.

As next steps, I've installed Yomichan and I plan on purchasing a copy of Genki I.

> can you read an article from https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/easy/ with ease, aside from vocab?

Nope. Perhaps you are right.

Would you mind telling which ones you went through?

Two years ago I had zero knowledge of the language, today I know all hiragana syllables, half of the katakana and a few kanji. I also know some basic vocabulary.

Yeah, maybe "quite effective" is overstating it.

> I used to put Google Analytics on my blog

Have you found a viable alternative or removed analytics from your blog altogether?

SaulOfTheJungle··on Facebook Still Tracks People on Yelp, Duolingo, Indeed
I've been learning Japanese with it for the past 2 years.

Although I haven't tried other apps (so I don't have a baseline for comparison), their methodology has proven quite effective for me.

Thanks! I did not know that.
