Hi all!

For those that are big Deck users and creators, or just wanna be kept in the loop around news and changes to do with our Decks system, please bookmark this thread!

An update (2026/05/08):

  • Pagination has been added to the Deck Edit page
    • This should help with viewing the huge Decks created through the import process.
  • We’ve updated the Deck Guidelines for publishing Decks to the Community Decks page.
    • At the same time we also un-published a few user Decks that didn’t fit the new guidelines.
    • The new guidelines will read as follows:

About Public Decks:

  • Only Decks with at least 10 items can be made public
  • You can still change and edit your Decks after they are public
  • While Bunpro doesn’t have strict guidelines for our approval/rejection process, here are some criteria we use:
    • If a Deck is complete or not (ex: only having 1 volume/chapter of a series)
    • If a Deck is something one will realistically ever study from or not (‘not’ meaning spam or non-sense)
    • If a very similar Deck already exists or not, and if publishing another will only add confusion
    • If a Deck has an appropriate cover or not
  • In the event a Deck does gets rejected, you are still able to study from it yourself and share it with others using the ‘Share your Deck privately’ system.

Is it worth having collapsible tabs for each section of decks? Currently it’s quite a hefty scroll to get to the perfection that is my driving in Japan deck and also the deck deck.

We’re a few days away from releasing a Beta that fully overhauls the Deck index page (Decks | Bunpro)

We’d love your feedback when that gets moved into Beta!

(The Beta for the new Details + Edit page is still a while away unfortunately – hence the stopgap pagination fix)

Just a suggestion, but it might be nice to have a separate category for this and other Bunpro related updates/threads in Community. Technically there is the “Bunpro” category, but I’m thinking something more for “official” posts by Bunpro staff, rather than more general Bunpro discussions. Alternately, it looks like the Feedback threads have been pinned. Maybe other threads made by Bunpro staff should be as well?

Especially for new users who may join after these types of threads are made, it can be difficult to find them via search.

For example, the future of missing grammar thread and Fuga’s vocabulary posts come to mind.

Yes, big agree. The search is very unwieldy, and one can’t have an unlimited number of pins. It would be good if there was a category that only mods can move posts into that are like general information posts or megathreads like this one. That way if someone else ends up making a relevant megathread, mods can choose to move it there too?

Hehe, thanks for appreciating my deck deck, but are you sure it doesn’t fall under the “spam or nonsense” category? :rofl:

@nminer

A valid idea.
For now I’ve just pinned the thread!

Also for those that are curious and/or are Adoring Fans, we’ve silently published the new Deck Browsing pages, which can be accessed by anyone here:

Wow, this new view with categories is great!
Also, it’s quite nice that words are splitted by chapters/episodes for reading and watching material.
I think with some time, good decks with proper structure will get pretty popular!

It seems like the featured deck at the top of the page isn’t entirely responsive. It looks fantastic but only the right side seems to have any interactivity.

Ignore the blue visual tearing. That’s a problem of the built in screen recorder.

Wow, thanks for featuring my Japanese Cities deck! :smiley:

The beta page is great!
If a deck completion bar can be added (as on the original page) so you can see your progress at a glance without needing to click through in each case, then that will be the cherry on the cake :cake:

The new Decks page design is a huge downgrade imo. I mostly used it to see how much I knew of a certain topic, and I could see progress at a glance fro everything i was tracking at once, but now that is hidden away, slow to load, and doesn’t even work on the A decks

Welcome to the forums!

Thanks for the feedback.
Progress-at-a-glance is a fair criticism. Will see what we can do about it.

slow to load

What pages in particular?
It should be a lot faster

doesn’t even work on the A decks

What A-level Decks?
Currently there are no Official Bunpro A-level Decks

One thing I also don’t like is that it changed the order of my decks :sweat_smile:

Might be talking about one like this? Not labeled as official, but from Bunpro team.

When clicking details to try and see progress, it can take a second to load the progress bars.

I do like the addition of the JLTP proportion.

The A-level decks are the ones @davconde mentioned

The beta deck page looks really beautiful! Great work so far to the team!

I would second that I would personally feel sad about losing the quick visual indicator on deck progression. I like being able to bookmark decks and get a sense of how capable I would be in attempting to read the book/manga, play the game, or watch the show, etc.

Having it be there with the progression wheel after clicking in is fine, but it’s an extra layer of friction that wasn’t previously there.
