It brings the abstract intertwining of the world into a mechanical visualization and with some mods (regarding economy and finance) portrays the current situations and challenges very well. Especially in an age with neoimperial ambitions of some countries. We can see the domestic and the international level combined and how they interact. Discuss.

Es ist doch echt kein Hexenwerk und ein Gym braucht man auch nicht.

Gehen / Laufen für Herz und Lunge.

Gewichte heben für die Arme und den Rücken.

Squats für die Mobilität und Stabilität.

Und wer möchte noch Situps / Crunches für die Bauchmuskeln.

Mehr ist das doch nicht. Warum wird da immer so ein Drama draus gemacht?

Warum gibt es so unzählige Coaches, die einem den letzten Scheiß andrehen wollen?

Warum denken Menschen es braucht sie iTraining Pro Max Level 3000 Routine und Normalsterbliche schaffen es eh nicht?

I submitted my first app for review 10 days ago. The first feedback came after 50+ hours. Rejected. Then another 48 hours. Rejected. Then I requested an expedited review. Since then I get rejected once every 24-30 hours. It's been 6 times now.

My app is rather complex, there are a lot of screens, so a lot of attack surface for the reviewer. They are extremely thorough. Google approved my app of the first try within 24 hours and every update goes through within seconds.

Apple on the other hand questions string placements, asks me "are you sure about these prices?" and then just doesn't continue the review for another 24 hours even if I reply within literal minutes.

Each time they do one issue, then I solve the issue and they find more to complain about.

How much rejection is normal? I proactively hardened every surface for compliance and robustness again, but still they keep looking for tiny things. The latest rejection was because they were not happy with the user facing error string when they tried to login with an account that wasn't registered yet.

It's been 10 days and I'm in waiting mode everyday, losing revenue, losing nerves over what else they might complain about next.

If you learn Chinese as an English or Latin script - based speaker in general, Chinese characters often appear like complex math where my brain just tunes out. I am on an advanced level now but that took me many many years.

There are certain techniques that helped me greatly: Character decomposition, lots of flashcard reviews and graded reading, etc.

For staying motivated, I need statistics to visualize the abstract progress.

But now I am wondering how others deal with Chinese. What kept you going? How do you enforce discipline once the novelty wears off? How long have you been learnig and what techniques are your favorites? How regularly do you study?

I am asking, because I am somewhat hitting a plateau right now.

Question as is - I saw some youtube gurus recommend that we should always choose entertainment even for educational content (if it has some element of education to it), because the educational category gets completley buried. Is this true?

Because so far, the education category for me does indeed produce worse results.

I'm part of a small team building a Mandarin learning app, and we've hit the stage where we need real learners — not friends and family — pounding on it. We're specifically looking for Android users at any level, from total beginners to advanced.

What we'd love feedback on:

• Whether the lessons actually feel useful vs. other SRS like Anki
• Pronunciation / tone practice (this is where most apps fall over)
• Anything that feels broken, slow, or annoying

If you submit substantive feedback (a paragraph+ or a few bugs), we'll send you a free premium for three months as a thank you.

Drop a comment or DM and I'll send the Play Store link. Happy to answer anything about the app, the team, or our approach in the thread.
