Grammar just got approved.
It's the single biggest layer we've ever added to Kumi. Over a thousand patterns, the thing we've been heads-down building behind the scenes. We held off talking about it until it was real. Now it is.
Here's where things stand.
Two quick things
First: we're gonna start posting content again very soon. The quiet stretch was about shipping, not stepping back, and now that grammar's moving, the videos and posts are coming back.
Second, the reminder: we're still in beta. And btw, if you (or anyone you know) wanna join, hop into our Discord. That's where access goes out and where the day-to-day convo lives.
Content's coming back. Short-form and posts, resuming soon.
Still in beta. And still letting people in.

The biggest fold yet
Here's the honest behind-the-scenes: we missed last week because we were deep in the thing we're most hyped about, extending the beta to include grammar.
It just got approved. That's the milestone. What's left now is the final clean-up pass, a round of revisions to polish it before it goes into the app. Once that's in, the lessons that sit on top of it follow.
What that actually means:
Grammar is approved. The corpus we've been building (over a thousand patterns, each with example sentences, reading guides, difficulty levels, and a map of what to learn before and after it) cleared its review.
Final clean-up revisions are next. One last polish pass before it enters the app. Close, not quite done.
Then come lessons. Once grammar's woven in, the lessons built on top of it follow right after.
The goal was never "grammar as a separate study mode." It's grammar living inside the same review system that already knows your vocab and kanji, so Kumi can start connecting what you've learned to how the pieces actually fit together.
Stable, and it shows
Here's why we can say all of this with a straight face: Kumi feels significantly more stable now. And we've got a specific tell for it.
The feedback we're getting has changed. It's no longer bug reports. It's not even polish on the core features. It's nice-to-haves, requests for new things, additions, features on top of a foundation that's holding. When the conversation shifts from "this is broken" to "wouldn't it be cool if," you've turned a corner.
Fewer bugs. The core is holding up under real daily use.
Less core-polish feedback. The foundational features feel right, not rough.
More "nice-to-haves". You're asking for additions, not fixes. That's the signal we've been waiting for.
Once grammar is folded in and battle-tested, we're extremely close to launch. Not "someday" close. Close. It's a genuinely great spot to be in, and you helped get us here.
That’s it for this week.
What's the one thing you'd want to open Kumi for every single day?
