Is it possible to write a file with cards and learning progress directly from the app or website?
Another Question:
As people are pointing out that community courses offer such breadth and follow on ā¦
Qu: Will MemRise advertise a link to Decks language courses once course 7 (or after each one) is completed?
PS
This agrees with @amanda-norrsken post just seen.

the blog post claims the vast majority of users use official memrise courses. I have an EXTREMELY difficult time believing this. At least it doesnāt show in the forum AT ALL; and the official courses are very limited. It also claimed theyāve talked to us for hundreds of hours before making this decision. This, of course, can not not be anything other than a lie. And when the CEO of your favourite company lies to you like that, it REALLY hurtsā¦
Also, when a user pointed out that memrise changed its Terms of Agreement without any notifications it makes me wonder. Should we perhaps make this a legal case? There seem to be a lot of mistakes and holes in Memriseās conduct. I am willing to let a legal professional look at this whole mess. At the very least we could force memriseās hand a little bit.
We have spent thousands of hours together helping memrise become a fantastic website and get a lot of money with all of our user-created contents. And now memrise wants to ditch us. Perhaps there is some intellectual property rights or something?

Isharr. If you were to be banned. Then it wouldnāt go down so well. As everyone can have an opinion, and if Memrise bans someone for expressing their opinion. People would find it unfair and really go on about it as everyone can have their say. No-one should be allowed to drown out your voice just because youāre irritated. As yāknow, free speech and all.

Free speech doesnāt make you exempt from criticism, but it would be bad to be penalized for stating your opinion on this.

People can and should have an opinion. But they can not be rude (or use offensive language), even if they are angry. The community / forum is mainly made up of users, and if a person is rude, compels us all to read your offensive posts.

Fair point, but there are no āpositiveā views towards Decks. Yes, offensive language isnāt permitted but itās still irritating how theyāre ignoring us, thatās why the curse words are being said, but still shouldnāt be said.
Thatā why I suggest shifting to tools such as Anki. Though it is not exactly the sameas Memrise particularly in terms of sharing a course and their updates with many people at once, its main advantage over Memrise is that being an open source, the chances of some greedy pig willing to degrade it for the sake of theirown profit are rather lower.

You should be able to āvote inā contributors to a course so we donāt have to rely on Memrise inc to do it.

The solution: make Pro required to learn on the Memrise app while separating the Decks website. From a technical perspective this would allow infrastructure to be separated and everyone would be better off.
Hi @JamesLu Re :
You should be able to āvote inā contributors to a course so we donāt have to rely on Memrise inc to do it.
A Creator or Contributor can BUT the problem arises when the Creator is not around and there are no existing Contributors either.
probably, please propose that to the team (I donāt use the app, soā¦; I even built my own alternative to memrise, although I donāt yet like it very much - the alternative)
I have no idea, as I said what I said from the perspective of a company (part) owner whoās trying to maintain a certain product.
But I live in Scotlandā¦ So close, but still too far for my little legs!
D :
edit: Willing to travel if can make arrangements. Will keep updated.
Iām going to have to add my voice to the list of users.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE donāt change Memrise!
People come here for the community created decks and rely on the app to study while on the move!
Please make your community created courses more accessible, and teach people how to make their own personal decks. Not hide away the community driven learning!
This is a HUGE mistake!

Interesting that they are having an event. I wonder what could come of it. Unfortunely I live in Japan, so itās just a little too far for me. Hope some people can make it!
I donāt expect anything to change with the meeting itās one week before Decks is launched but I respect the people whoās going to meet Memrise representatives.
