November 23, 2020 - Patch Notes

Hello everyone!

We're back after a 3-day weekend here in Japan with another update fixing some of the issues introduced with the last patch.

We are investigating some issues where users are encountering the message "An error has occurred on the client". In the meantime, if you log in again by going to https://www.nativshark.com/sign-in it should resolve your issues.

Fixes

Flashcards

  • Fixed an issue where the system would not highlight individual words when hovering over the every word and literal breakdowns
  • Fixed an issue where the flashcards would not take up the full height of the window on desktop
  • Fixed an issue where various interactions would prevent keyboard shortcuts from working
  • Attempted to fix the strange review count behavior, we are not considering this fixed until we stop receiving reports that it happened but mentioning it here so people actively look out for it

General

  • Made a slight modification to the way copy/pasting the Japanese text works. It still has issues, but it's better than before. To make it copy/paste seamlessly will require a bit of a rewrite to how the markup on our site works, so the current implementation will have to work until we have time to rewrite that.
  • Various typo fixes across the site

Known Issues

We are actively working on fixes for the following issues.Streaks

  • There is an issue where student streaks will not increase for seemingly no reason.Shadow Albums
  • The interval and repeat settings for the shadow albums are not being respected by the system at this time
