"There are thousands of volunteers who donated their labour to Duo... Bit by bit all of our work was hidden from us as Duolingo became a publicly-traded company." (aus.social)

And here I am just pissed that Duolingo keeps overhauling their whole program. Like, in less than 2 years time, they've had 3 different versions of the website and of course it wipes out all of your progress and approximates where you may be in their new system. Except the latest. The latest update just wipes all your shit out and says "good luck fuckface!" I've become less and less a fan of Duo over the last 4 years and yeah, not gonna do the AI thing with it anymore. Sari can go on vacation with my one-eyed dog named Max and eat cheese sandwiches for all I care.

I'm still mad I bought the super duo costume which they then completely removed from the app

Yeah, very annoying to be told a word is "new" when I know it well, and vice-versa be expected to have done whole lessons on other words that I've never seen before. That said, not many options for Hungarian, I've only seen Drops as an alternative daily app.
