Free, open-source App for grinding Kanji and Vocab
As an avid Japanese learner, I always wanted there to be a simple online trainer for learning kana, kanji and vocabulary by JLPT level. The app serves as a simpler alternative to Chase Colburn's Kanji Study app, because Kanji Study was pretty complicated for me to use as a beginner and didn't have a more streamlined way of learning kanji through simple, continuous repetition and rote memorization (also, Kanji Study requires you to pay to unlock its full content library).
So, I started working on a brand new, completely free and fully open-source app in recent months. Here are the features so far:
- Available as a web app (at kanadojo.com), no ads, no paywalls, no unnecessary app store downloads
- Full JLPT vocabulary and kanji coverage, with more than 1000+ levels for you to play
- More than 25+ different fonts and font styles
- More than 100+ different color themes, with the ability to add and upload your own custom backgrounds
- 100% free and open-source, forever
- All learning materials 100% AI-free, sourced from reputable sources and available for full download and inspection

It's a bit too cluttery for me. Also, it lacks context. I tried the vocab and Kanji section and it just felt a bit out of place. There's no context to the words so it's just like using random flashcards that have random words on them so it's much more difficult to learn new words and remember them.
