duoleavemealone for Duolingo

Awesome!

Doesn't work

one lesson in and I loved it, just had to absolutely go back to give it five stars.

Good day, Daniel. I would like to know whether this Duolingo extension acts like autolingo (which has stopped working) by answering all of the questions in the lessons automatically. I wasn't able to detect any difference from adding this extension. My Duolingo practise has been exactly the same so I'm not certain what the functionalities of duoleavemealone are. Best regards and thank you very much for your answer in advance.

No, the extension doesn't automatically answer questions. It only attempts to automatically click the pointless "Continue" button that Duolingo displays after a question is answered correctly. If you're not seeing this happen, you may need to disable "dark mode" if you have it enabled in Duolingo's settings. Duolingo continually runs experiments where they change the site for some fraction of their users, so it's also possible that they've made a change that prevents the extension from finding the buttons.

It works, shaves a few seconds and at least dozen extra clicks in each lesson - very good! Thank you!

Useful, but would be more useful if it removed the annoying cartoon characters

Just to check, do you mean the characters that appear next to the questions?

This is an amazing extension in my opinion. I like how the little bubble pops up and tells you how you did instead of the default box DuoLingo uses. I like the overall look and how I don't have to skip over that pesky feedback screen anymore. One thing I will say though, is that when I'm reading a story in night mode, the words disappear after the narrator speaks them.

Glad you're enjoying it! This extension doesn't do much in stories beyond clicking the "next" button, so I'm a bit surprised if it's making the text harder to read. I'm happy to take a look if you can provide more details or a screenshot, though. Is Duolingo displaying a "night mode" setting for your account, or are you using another extension to change the colors or using an OS dark/night-mode setting? If you can't reply to this comment, feel free to use the "Support" tab in the Web Store or file an issue at https://github.com/derat/duoleavemealone/issues/new .

It's good, but I think the screen flashes by too quickly, so we don't have time to see the other solutions. Also, when I try to click the discussion buttons, report ones, etc..., It doesn't seen to bring me to that page, however, this is a great extension and I love it!

Discuss buttons should be fixed in version 0.18 (which I've uploaded for review). Thanks again!

This is quite useful for batch strengthening sessions and the likes. However, I wish there was an option to go back to the screen for any reason, and an option to see the discussion for that question. Other than that, sleek and perfect.

Thanks for the review! In case you didn't see it, discussion links are now (usually) shown in the bubble that appears after answering a question correctly. I don't think it'd be possible for an extension to go back after a question is answered, sadly.
