NativShark 1.0

Hi everyone,

It's finally here.

The full core NativShark experience is online.

In the past 7 days we've knocked out out 133 high priority tickets and brought everything in for a landing.

In total we're at 348,093 lines of code.

If you're ready to study 166 language-packed units — and achieve Milestone Badges ranging from "Parts of speech connoisseur" to "Fundamentals of Japanese" — now is your chance.

It's launch time.
