can anyone recommend me a good textbook for my friend and I to use as we study Japanese? We're both at kind of beginner-intermediate level; we have hiragana/katakana and about 200 kanji learned, along with a lot of the basic grammar. Any good books that you guys have used?

Some of our users, like @gibbon, recommended Genki in the past. I think Genki is pretty popular, although it's probably designed to be used in a classroom rather than for self-study.

Oded's responded to my query regarding adding the script to the mobile site, looks like it could be complicated
@cypher - is the script in the same pastebin? If so, it still has debug enabled. In regards to the mobile site - I am not sure we can do this, as the mechanism we use for the script is used in several sites (for other custom scripts) - and is not used in the mobile theme at all. It may have implications on those sites. I will have to discuss internally before. — Oded ♦13 mins ago
The way which I've been using for Android/Chrome is connecting via USB debug, using "inspect devices" and pasting it into the console each time the page reloads

For example, if you see the kanji 手 and you naturally want to pronounce it "zu" instead of "te," recall that you know that same kanji from t...
I don't speak Chinese, so I don't have the problem Chinese speakers have of mixing up readings, but I like this answer. I think it looks different from most other "study method" questions that have been closed in the past.
We seem to get a lot of questions asking 'how should I go about learning this thing?'. (Learning Japanese alphabet and Transitioning to Japanese kanji from Chinese are two recent examples.)
At the moment, there's only two close reasons we can use for them:

@cypher Almost works perfectly on iPhone. It seems like characters which have furigana end up slightly larger than characters which don't, but otherwise it looks correct.
Hmm, I think "small" + "moderate lightness" + "shrink in moderation" is my favorite view combination.
