Any thoughts on what might make one of the modern themes work for you?
The work you guys put into this site is crazy !
These features are amazing!
I expect to see the virtual AI “Bunpro Sensei” in a couple years.
I’ve just learned about its existence. Other themes look so plain and boring comparing to it.
I prefer the darker themes but it feels like some of the colours are inconsistent. Low contrast on some things like dark red on black or light grey or a darker grey.
I think it would be worth finding a limited colour palette for each theme and trying to stay consistent and ensuring they pass certain standards for contrast.
In fairness I have found designing dark themes to be a bit harder but the Material Design documentation by Google give some really good advice.
I think the font could use some tweaks.
On the progress bars, the numbers seem too small now. On my laptop screen, they don’t look as clear compared to before. I know I can change the general font size but, with the next larger size, now things don’t fit on one screen.
Also, with the reviews, now the regular font is so thin that it seems almost faded. You almost can’t even tell that the regular English letters are in two colors. The font of my comment here has easier-to-read font.
Just my impressions. Overall still impressed with the updates.
I think it goes back to the contrast rules that @Ambo100 was talking about. Classic theme, the thinner font still holds up pretty well and looks good IMO but your screen share for light mode is not as pleasing to my eyes.
New mobile side drawer works great, thanks!
But the link under the Bunpro logo always leads to the dashboard regardless of “Start Page” setting. Looks like a bug for me.
That’s a great starting point thank you! I will look into improving the contrast.
@FredKore like @s1212z mentioned hopefully the contrast changes @Ambo100 suggested will help fix that.
@HotAirGun I believe you are right. I will get that fixed.
black gives a bit better contrast for text though maybe, especially with light gray and light blue. but could be worth a try. still, i like the current dark dashboard.
This is so cool! I also immediately noticed the font change and went to look for an update notice!
(You can tell how up to date I am on my reviews with how long it took me to notice haha…)
I’ve been with you for well over three years now and it’s great to have seen the site go from strength to strength. I’m super proud to have been on the ride with you guys and I’m looking forward to the future of BP!

Thanks, it works great!
Is it possible to hide the mobile header in the reviews mode? It takes too much place, I don’t see my XP bar now
Just wanted thank you guys for implimenting my suggestion about the side the menu pops up on. Probably the first app ever to impliment my suggestion about undoing a change in UI. 本当にありがとうございます

I fell off the wagon, so I just reset all my progress. I’d be happy to test the onboarding if possible! Thanks!
Thanks! I have triggered it for your account. Please let us know any feedback you have!
Everything looked really smooth. I didn’t look as closely as I should have though since I was planning to go back but it put me in reviews before I realized it. haha.
The only thing that I can think of right now is I saw where it recommended not doing too much, which I think is good to have. But did you have a choice on that page to choose how many reviews you want to do per day? It was weird it recommended 1-2 and then instantly started with 3 reviews when you clicked next(but maybe it was there and I overlooked it).
It may be good to have them choose 1-3/4 a day in a box and then a note that they can adjust that in settings later if they want to change it or go higher than 4.
Again, if it’s already there I apologize haha.
If you can reset me one more time I’d appreciate it. I’d like to go through it again in more detail!
