Ideas: 1. Chatroom? Get instant answers to questions, talk to people, etc. - Feed Post by Kimbo
Ideas:
1. Chatroom? Get instant answers to questions, talk to people, etc.
2. Reward and point system, e.g. slow accumulation of points for daily attendance (1p = 1 day), points for biggest combo made today (not continuous) (5p), highest score today (5p), highest score this month (100p). The rewards would be only small things like avatars, medals, or something along them lines. (Currently the daily attendance is lacking something).
3. Not knowing an incorrect answer = one error only. For example, often when I get a word wrong, I usually don't know it at all, meaning I can get three "wrongs" for not knowing the answer on a single question. Perhaps replacing this with an increased xp loss on the first attempt, but no further losses, and no points gained when you get it correct.
These ideas are probably too difficult for the short term, but perhaps a list of ideas for Beeant in the long term might be good. ^^

You mean an improved chatroom besides the one that already exists on JCJP? Also, each time a user gets the wrong answer will be negative reinforcement, so it makes the user more careful.
An actual chatroom that can be seen whilst doing practice (with on/off switch).
I dunno, maybe not then.
- I have no idea how many users are online at one time. I guess a dead chatroom would be wasteful. How about
4. Easier reading articles in the readings section. It is pretty hard :/ Maybe some articles about entertainment news or something... although I have no idea who/how the articles are made, so I dunno. 
I've mentioned those same suggestions for the chat room before too. You could just open the current 'Chat' feature in a new window and resize it so it's visible while doing Practice. However, the main problem, I think, is that we still can't see who is currently in the chat room--making Chat not really any different to Social Feeds (and why we have loads of Feeds just saying 'こんにちは'...)
There is an 'entertainment' category already for the reading articles, although they don't really feel any lighter than the politics and business articles... I don't know how the reading articles are made, however I'm pretty certain it's automated somehow, because there are over 300,000 reading articles--definitely not beeant hand typing them! The newest article is number '300532', and you can edit the number in the address of the page to reach all the older article numbers, even the very first one!
http://japaneseclass.jp/readings/read/1- Oh I never noticed xD yeah, it still seems hard.
11:19am on this 16th, a strength 5 earthquake injured 5 people. A ceiling in a supermarket collapsed injuring a 58 year old woman's back.
Number 1 is not too difficult... most are pretty hard though. If it is automatic, there is some real potential for easier articles though! For those who have mastered the current vocab, it's a pretty cool feature... but I was always turned off by ridiculously hard political articles xD (not that I have yet mastered all the vocab)
