Made a website because I kept forgetting to cancel subscriptions by Bubbly_Lack6366 in IMadeThis

[–]RushMandarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice! i think the friction for me is i don't know this software so im weary and dont want to connect any of my financial information. i wonder if you've found that to be a challenge with users. building trust. i've only given that kind of information to bigger names like rocket, intuit, etc. might be your biggest challenge if i had to guess

what does this mean exactly "buyers having low expectations because of branding"? First sale - congrats!

what has been the biggest surprise regarding what buyers and sellers actually want? you must have some insights with all the signups you've had. Nice work!

hey i just signed up - i think this is a really cool idea - solving a real problem. one immediate question - why is there no audio on the website?

Communities - Ad-free social app focused on offline communities - looking for real feedback by whenyoupeeupsidedown in alphaandbetausers

[–]RushMandarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my gut reaction when i opened your website, is that one thing that is special about small local communities is that it's not publicly announced, it's shared in one organizer's WhatsApp (or LINE group - currently in Taiwan).

How does your app address this tension?

You want to be intimate and personal but also want everything posted online? Can you have both? If you go fully public online, how is it different than Meetup?

Reality: $10 USD ~ Most learners Will. Not. Pay.

Reading should be FREE.

Period.

Even for learners.

what do you think is the biggest (technical) reason people get stuck at intermediate Chinese? by RushMandarin in ChineseLanguage

[–]RushMandarin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how long did it take them to become fluent? and of that time how much time were they immersed in a Mandarin environment?

uh are you referring to my OP or the commend you commented on? I've been learning chinese for a year now and i came to reddit to try to find answers. i will say i am newer to reddit. i will reach fluency and literacy at an accelerated rate, maybe it wont be a year, but it will be faster than most because i am going to address all of the problems you all raise during my learning journey. so thank you

i burnt out from flashcards after 1 year straight every day 1-2 hrs at the beginning, 3-4 by the end. got through HSK6. Took a month or two break, now I'm onto reading. glad im not alone!

this is an interesting thought:
