掲示板 Forums - I (Michael) am sick - how it affects renshuu

Hello everyone.

While I try to keep my personal life and renshuu separate, I need to make an announcement. I will not give specifics, but I have received a medical diagnosis that going to mess up my life for a few months, if not much longer.

Because of this, I need to bring renshuu into "maintenance mode".

My personal learning events are cancelled for the foreseeable future.,

All work on new and existing features will have to be paused.,

I will do what I can to respond to bug reports and user support. However, I kindly ask that you do the following:,

A. First, please ask in the discord help channels, or in the renshuu forums. We have an amazing, supporting community.

B. If it is something that cannot be resolved and you'd like more help. Please post in the renshuu help forums. Unless it contains personal or private information, do not send a report via the ? button in the app. I will prioritize issues brought up in the forums.

C. I will not be able to respond to discord DMs.

D. Please understand that my usual response speed will not be something I'm unable to maintain.

My goal for now is to minimize my time on renshuu so that I can focus on whatever is coming my way.

Man, thats just...heartbreaking to hear. I just wanted to say how incredibly grateful I am for everything you’ve built with renshuu. Take all the time you need to focus on your health. We will be here when you are ready, cheering you on every step.
Sending strength and peace and energy your way.
Get Well..

Please take all the time you need and prioritize your health - you're a truly amazing person and I wish you the very best on your health and recovery, I will be praying for you and I will ask my family to pray for you as well🙏🏼⬆️

If I can help you in any way at all please feel free to reach out and ask ^_^

Good luck and I'm looking forward to hearing good news in regards to your health soon :)

マイコーさん、がんばれ、お大事に！幸運を祈ります。

I only saw this post today. Just wanted to say that I absolutely love Renshuu. It is by far the best language resource I have used and it really keeps me motivated. But I'm also impressed by the work you've put in it, and the lovely community you've built. Please take care of yourself for now. お大事に！

I'm so sorry :(( I really hope you'll be okay!! The Renshuu community is wishing you the best!! This website/app is amazing and we all appreciate all the work you put into it! We will truly miss you and we pray for your recovery

あいたい!! あなたならできるよ!♡♡

I have an update regarding my condition. I am not comfortable sharing all of the details (although some of you may be able to guess what's going on), but I have some good news. Out of a scale from "not so bad" to "absolutely awful", I appear to be much closer to "not so bad". That being said, I require (at the least) some minor surgery. I know, it sounds scary, and while I am scared, I am more hopeful because I could only think about it being much, much worse.

Because of the surgery and my time exploring the inside of a recovery room in a Japanese hospital, I will be unavailable from June 30th until roughly July 6th. Unless there are complications, though, the doctor expects this to be practically the entirety of my treatment for the time being, so that's great news for us.

Should you have any issues with renshuu during that time, I kindly ask that you reach out to our wonderful community members, both in the renshuu forums as well as our renshuu discord.
