New Desktop Beta
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Edits To Learn German Poplings
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009If you are using Popling to learn German, you may see some changes to answers in the next few days. I’ve recently had another translator review the files and add articles to the nouns as requested here. I know this could be confusing to those of you currently popping the edited cards, but it’s for your own good! 
New Desktop App Beta
Thursday, February 5th, 2009After a few weeks of hard work, a beta of the new desktop app is ready to be tested. I’ve completely rewritten the interface, enhanced stability and added a few small features.
If you don’t mind helping me work through some bugs, sending me the odd log file and commenting profusely about what you’ve found, visit the new Desktop Beta page. I’m looking forward to your comments and suggestions!
Clever Slacker
Monday, February 2nd, 2009There’s been tons of discussion of Popling on the interwebs the last few weeks. My favorite thing written so far, comes from a really awesome tumble blog called Very Pleasure:
Finally, some clever slacker has created an app that teaches a new language without damaging your hard-earned 0.3 second attention span… high five to you, sir.
High five right back!
The most interesting discussion so far has been at goodexperience.com, where a few are worried about interruptions, a few decry the depth and speed of today’s information flow and a few are so motivated they can’t understand the need for Popling. Wonder what their secret is?
Other very kind people wrote about Popling on:
- springwise.com
- makeuseof.com
- delicious for ‘learning’ Popling is currently 4th!
- A ton of blogs (Thanks guys and girls!)
- and lots of amazing comments on twitter!
I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to write anything about Popling. The criticism has been constructive, the links are appreciated, and the praise makes me all warm inside.
