There's a bit of a story behind the development of Nyan-8.
On November 20, 2023, the language exchange site I had long used, Lang-8, announced the end of its service. Within just a few hours, I launched an announcement site and declared the development of a successor platform called Nyan-8.
The very next day, I added a demo screen of Nyan-8 and a mailing list to the announcement site, allowing people who were interested to reserve a spot.
Two months later, I released a Chrome extension that allows users to migrate their posts and corrections from Lang-8 to Nyan-8, along with a temporary migration website. Shortly after that, Nyan-8 itself was officially released.
To be honest, the development process was full of difficulties and challenges. I was also handling user support every day, so I ended up sleeping only 2-3 hours a day for nearly three months, which was extremely exhausting. There was just an overwhelming amount of work to do -- it may have been the hardest development period of my life. I somehow managed to push through purely out of a sense of responsibility.
The community embraced the platform, and today Nyan-8 has become the primary destination for former Lang-8 users.
