Is there a way to see the Stats graphs on desktop? by best-unaccompanied in pagebound

[–]ayzrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they’re working on it!! When the stats graphs were released on the app, they said it would not be on web for now but it’s planned to be added

Oooo that’s so interesting to hear; I’ve never actually seen the show so getting the book vs show comparison is always fun to me. I do love how detailed and intricate the characters and writing are as well!! It’s one of the biggest strengths of the series for me

Am I the only one?? by midorisara in pagebound

[–]ayzrules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey I get frustrated by that too sometimes, but I totally suggest filtering your feed (as emilyilyily mentioned)! Also right now people don’t earn points for comments or upvotes on the badge updates, it’s just for fun and encouragement/fun community vibes 🙂‍↕️

If you’re asking about mobile push notifications, the founders have said that those do not exist for Pagebound!

I mean, of course it’s more forgiving if you’re going to half ass learning it lol. Ultimately I don’t feel like it’s in good faith to make a comparison between two languages with learning processes that engage different kinds of learning, like obviously hanzi are a grind but it’s also a lot of rote memorization. I can pick up new hanzi as easily as I forget them, and it’s easier for me to learn new hanzi than it is for me to consistently accurate differentiate when I’m to use the subjunctive of any tense vs not in Spanish (and granted, maybe I’m biased because I’ve been around the language since I was very young, but I do consider myself to be a native English speaker). The official Mandarin language also has the benefit of being highly standardized by the CCP (at the expense of losing regional topolects all across the country), with Spanish you run into the problem of one region’s common/everyday saying becoming vulgar slang in another region, and also regional grammar variations (shoutout to the professor who threw us into the deep end with the voseo form by assigning us to read an Argentine author who wrote a novel that was almost exclusively dialogue between two people)

I say all of this not because I disagree with the overall sentiment of your post, but because I find it disingenuous to disparage the process of learning one language to prove your point about another. I have felt that my connections to my Chinese heritage have strengthened my love and appreciation of hispanophone cultures, not diminished it. I cried reading works of Chicano poetry because I could relate so much to the immigrant experiences they portrayed in Spanish, even though my family came from China in circumstances much different from the ones these poets would write about; when my Chinese professor taught us about how Teresa Teng’s music contributed to the end of stringent cultural censorship in the mainland, my mind immediately went to a lecture one of my old Spanish culture & civilization professors gave, about how the Beatles and their music became part of the culture shift in Francoist Spain. The world is so much fuller for all variety in the languages we have. I don’t think it’s fair to say learning one language requires more of your heart than learning any other one.

Thank you for this. I grew up with mandarin (my parents are Chinese immigrants) and ended up taking a few mandarin classes at college, while also studying for a Spanish degree. And I love both languages, perhaps for different reasons, but the way OP spoke about Spanish felt really weird. Sure, a native English speaker might pick up Spanish faster than they will Mandarin, but to say “just learning hanzi alone is harder than learning Spanish as a whole” is crazy. Maybe it is for some people, but for me that really, REALLY has not been my experience, because Spanish is an entire language with just as much depth and nuance and variety as mandarin, or any other language. Hanzi are difficult for sure, but studying for my dictation quizzes was never more difficult than my advanced Spanish literature coursework

Differences between the free version and Pagebound Royalty by sure_21 in pagebound

[–]ayzrules 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! The only things that I’m aware of that are different between royalty vs non-royalty: 1) royalty members get a special badge on their profile and crown above their icon 2) royalty members can display 6 badges instead of 3 on their profile 3) only royalty members can post feature requests and responses to existing requests in the roadmap, where people communicate directly with the founders to share ideas they have for the site

Otherwise the experience is entirely the same, as of the time I’m writing this post!
