I had this idea for a Japanese vocab learning app after having a frustrating time setting up and using Anki. Doshi is designed specifically for Japanese vocab and includes things like pitch accent and mnemonics automatically.
This site is an early prototype meant to explore the UI and overall experience.
My vision for the full app:
Include curated content from a beginner deck (e.g., Kaishi 1.5k )
AI-generated mnemonics, with the ability to edit and save custom ones per card
A clean and minimal interface
I’m not a fan of Anki’s interface, so thoughtful UI design is especially important to me.
I’d love any feedback and I’m happy to answer questions. Thanks for reading!
Not sure in what meaningful way an SRS review flow can be different from Anki. The whole UI is just grading buttons below the card. You have the same, but no SRS implemented yet so there is 1 button instead of 4.
Since you have the HTML chops to design a card in a web page, you can just copy-paste that into an Anki card template and have any fonts, color scheme and styling for pitch accent you prefer.
There are already web-based SRS/dictionary combo sites, for example JPDB is free to use and has a ton of content and features. You just have to add personal mnemonics to taste, and optionally usercss the color palette.
We live in an amazing era when anyone can prompt a simple personal webapp though, so why not.
