Yes, I see. However, imo, searching among the existing texts and grouping them is not necessarily easier than
creating a new list :)
Actually, there is more than that. Have a look, the website has been updated few hours ago. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, if you've already added the texts you don't need to go find them again. Otherwise, you're just copying and pasting everything again. Creating new lists with texts that haven't been uploaded is probably about the same, but i think it'd be easier to add texts that have already been added than find them again.
I just saw the new site and it looks great, though it took me a little while to find where the old texts had been moved to (under the "more" button). I guess the new focus will be more on lists than individual texts? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I got your point, I agree it could be easier to transfert some of the texts. We will try to come up with something that
can make this easier, but it's not for sure since it require a significant amount of work/time. Time that could maybe better spent on working on features previously suggested :) I'm glad you like the last update of the website. We think that reading lists are more organized, hence more useful for discovering content than standalone articles. Of course, you can still use the url import and plugins as usual. Have some thoughts about this new focus? :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ah, i didn't think it would be that difficult, mostly just pulling the text from one and pasting it into the other, but you're right, i would rather have some of the other features than this.
Personally i've been using the site more for reading books, so it's great for me. However, i think a lot of people do use it to read articles and things, so i'm not sure whether hiding the articles in the "More" button is a good idea or not. Maybe they should also be on the Browse page (in a separate tab)? I'd also still like a way to mark a chapter as read, it would be much easier to continue reading. Or perhaps a "continue reading list" option where you would jump to where you left off. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, I agree that it should be made a bit more visible and accessible. Thank you for your suggestion to make it available on the Browse page, that's a great idea. Work are working on that.
Yes, we also though about this, and it's work in progress. - Marking chapters as read - Adding a shortcut link on the top to access the last read text (and the next one) so you don't have to scroll. Edited by Yaan on 13 March 2014 at 10:49am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I like the two shortcut ideas. You could maybe just have a "Open next unfinished text" or something, which would jump to the next text that wasn't marked as finished.
Also, i still get the previous definition showing up when i hover a new word sometimes, though i can't quite seem to figure out what causes it. A lot of times, the previous definition will display briefly and then switch to the new (correct) one. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This should be implemented very soon. Now you can see if a text is read/unread, the "play icon" is gray when a text is already read..
Sorry about that. Now this should definitely not happen again. Let me know if that's not the case :) Reading lists can now be viewed even if you are not logged. e.g. http://www.lingocracy.com/a/lists/cmn Switching languages is also faster than before, cool for people learning more than one language at time. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hmm, in my list the first 6 texts (which i've already read) have a blue arrow whereas the ones i haven't read are all gray. Is a text marked read as soon as you open it? I think it would be better to be able to toggle read/not read, perhaps by clicking on the arrow? Then on the last page, you could have the option to mark all blue words as read and close the text, marking the text as red.
EDIT: Also, i haven't checked the other things out yet, i'll let you know after i read a bit today. Thanks for looking into it, though! Edited by Crush on 15 March 2014 at 4:27pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
