This release will roll out on 11/16/2021 PST
Release has been pushed back a little bit until we finish writing support articles. Additional changes have been added including a CMS.
I figured I’d start things off here by reiterating that our web client is still a work in progress. There’s bound to be some issues especially considering that the upcoming V3 is a minimum viable product (MVP). V3 differs drastically in a lot of ways compared to the previous versions, but keeps the core functionality the same. This initial release will not be 100% responsive on mobile devices.
LangCorrect Web 3.0.0-Beta1
New:
-
A ratio bar that will keep track of your contributions (corrections made / corrections received) and account warnings. Failure to increase your ratio while warned will result in loss of posting privileges. Posting privileges will be reinstated automatically once you reach the minimum ratio requirement (TBD). While we hope that our wonderful users will strive to keep a ratio of 1.0, we know that it’s not possible for some languages due to the small community. So we also included a whitelist to combat this and not punish users unnecessarily. This is still in testing phase, so account warnings will just be a visual reminder.
-
Profile has been redesigned and a new contribution heatmap has been added. Counted contributions are: Journals created, and sentences corrected. For example, if you were to correct 2 sentences and mark 1 sentence as perfect, then your contribution would increase by
+3
. -
The two journal modes (Teach, Learn) were split into separate pages. Learn will now only show journals that have received corrections.
-
Two new journal badges: language match and you have already corrected this.
-
Journals will now have their own individual skill level that will be set automatically at the time of publishing. The value it will be set to will be the skill level that is displayed in your profile.
-
Prompts were completely revamped. You can now up-vote prompts that you like, add tags to prompts, and group prompts under challenges. Challenges can be created with member roles of Moderator or higher. However, if you are feeling creative and would like to create a challenge, then let us know and we will grant you access. Please do note that if you are creating a 30 day challenges, then you will need to create a challenge for each day.
