From my understanding, lvl 1 users should be able to edit… so I think everyone should be good. The default lvl of everyone at this moment is lvl 1.
Soon, I will change it so that new users will be coming in at lvl 0, but won’t be for a few days yet.

I just put myself in the list. I don’t know if I’ll update everyday, but I’m reading at least that much everyday, so I might as well join.

Also, @Yui I’d recommend everyone puts their Natively profile, rather than Discourse profile

I’m not sure if it counts as participating or not because I use a different method–I do it by paragraphs > pages > chapters rather than minutes. I do it this way because a good portion of the time reading might be taken up by using the dictionary. I started off by being able to read a few sentences or a paragraph on a page and then moved up into reading a few pages a day. Now I’m working on reading a chapter, even if I have to break it into several sessions throughout the day.

Yes, even the newcomers can edit once–I’ve done it before with the bot during the tutorial.

Joining! Let’s do it, minna

I’m gonna join too! I’ll try do long sessions of 30 mins, but 15 minutes as starting point sounds good.
Been very busy lately and I’ve noticed that sessions of 10 minutes or less are not that productive speed/comprenhension wise.

This is a great idea! Even just 15 minutes of reading a day makes all the difference.
I’ve fallen off the wagon in recent months because I’ve been so busy with studying for the JLPT but I need to get back into it, even if it’s just 15 minutes. So I’d like to join too!
(Although note: I won’t be able to update my progress all that much because I am so busy right now.)

Wait, I just realized that, having copied your line, I had Jan instead of Jun as my starting month. But considering the start date of this thread was June 17, that was a mistake on my part 
I haven’t modified anyone else, just in case it was on purpose.
@yui it seems people are putting their join date for Natively, not the thread. I would assume that we want people putting the start date when they joined the thread, no?

Yes, the join date for this challenge.

I’m excited to be working with y’all to improve our Japanese! Let’s all do our best 
I think 15 minutes a day is pretty reasonable, considering I just read manga for 50min without realising it

Ohh. Derp. I don’t know what I was thinking. Let me fix mine. (You already did, thank you!!!)
With the JLPT over I’m finally able to get back into reading Japanese novels!!! Hope to get at least 15 minutes a day in and start tracking my streak!

I started my reading arc with a similar tactic. I set the reading goal in Apple Books to 15 minutes and just went for it (you get a nice streak counter, etc.).
It works to give yourself a nice manageable goal, rather than strive for something harder (like an hour every day). Currently at a 174 day streak 
I don’t even use Apple Books anymore (TTU makes reading harder materials easier), but still try to keep that streak going in the App; although it’s only set to 1 minute now

I didn’t know you could do that. That sounds like an awesome way to make yourself accountable and keep streaks going.
I think I could probably mod ttu to add that feature and integrate it to immersion reader.

Maybe it can be done as a pull request to ttu? It would be nice if they implemented as I not only use the apple device to read.

That was my initial idea, but it’s definitely much easier for me to do it for my overall app, because I have other other kinds of readers (discovery books) so having them all count towards the same timer would make sense.
Also, it would be easier to determine whether the book is being open or not from the app level than on the website level since the website is still in memory for a period of time even when you switch books or apps.
Edit: I also intend to release immersion reader on android one day, if that helps.
I ditched android but a windows version or something that could be loaded in the browser would be very welcome for my windows tablets.
Given my limited time and energy, I will probably focus only on mobile for now, but I might make a desktop build in the future with direct integration with AnkiConnect.
Also, I’m trying to migrate most of the reader functionality away from ttu as much as possible since the storage in the browser will be deleted if you don’t interact with it for a while (7 days), a behavior enforced by the webkit browser in ios.
