[iOS, Android, Web] Wanilog, modern WaniKani stats

Thank you so much! <3

Hello,

First of all I would like to say I really like Wanilog, as it has a lot of information to bring me more insight etc :slightly_smiling_face: I unfortunately did find a small error/fault in the Time per level graph;

First lesson is correct;

Unlock is correct except for the current level (lvl 6). All other levels are correct.

As a reference my wkstats. Here it is visible Lvl 6 is 23 days, which I know to be true.

I do think this is a very small issue though and so far have not found any others :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey gangerM - thank you, glad you’re enjoying Wanilog! Great find, this is fixed now :tada:

Thank you for the quick fix, it looks indeed correct now :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Ricardo, really enjoying the changes to the item reviews so far, one thing I’d like to see is an option to review correct answers rather than going to the next item automatically. Right now I’m using it to review apprentice I items and id like to check if there are alternate meanings/spellings once I get the correct answer. Thanks again for all the hard work!

Thank you erceos, for sure - this is added now!

Amazing! Truly the :goat: - It looks awesome and this will really help iron out all those one off meanings!

Hey Ricardo, I was wondering if you have a Ko-fi or something similar to support you with? I really appreciate all the hard work you do to make Wanilog such a great tool for everyone to use!

Hey Erceos, I have set up a Ko-fi page here: https://ko-fi.com/wanilog

Thank you so much for your support! :heart_hands:

Do you have a way to study only apprentice cards that are due “today”. Thats 99% of what i study for wk.

Hey Pancakes! There wasn’t, but I’ve just added it now thanks to your suggestion :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I’ve pre-filtered the items page for you, here you go - just click “Review all”:

You can also tick the “Include overdue” checkbox if you also want Appr items that are overdue (e.g. not just today, but previous days).

I like it. Though im not sure why I have such a strong affinity to the order of reading first vs meaning first. It shouldn’t matter either way. I hope the hosting costs arent too big??

Do you mean so that the flashcard shows the reading first? I can make a setting for this if so

Hey everyone,

I’ve just added a new feature: Wanilog Music!

You can now search for a Japanese song, and Wanilog will find the YouTube video for it along with lyrics synced to the video.

Your learnt WaniKani kanji and vocab are highlighted in the lyrics, and each song shows how many of them you already know.

Here’s an example with YOASOBI - アイドル.

You can search by a song name or pasting a YouTube video or Spotify URL.

[VIDEO DEMO]

  • I’ve tested a lot of songs so far, and around 90% of searches should work. If yours doesn’t, try to search by the Japanese name of the song (romaji OK!) or try another song.
  • Some songs support word-by-word sync (e.g. like real karaoke), however most songs only support line by line lyric sync.

Hm, for some reason the app opens as a “browser” now instead of what appeared to be a dedicated app before.

This should be fixed now - thanks for letting me know!

yes.

Also. If somehow the list of failed cards could be put into its own pile for focused study. Like focusing on the ones that were failed. The idea being that the first pass confirms which you know and which you dont. Then the failed ones get the extra focus they need.

I like all this

Hey all,

Excited to announce that Wanilog now supports built-in Reviews & Lessons inside Wanilog itself!

To get started, open your Wanilog dashboard. There are two new buttons in the top right, Reviews and Lessons. Click either one.

Reviews come with a few quality of life changes over the standard flow:

  • Got something wrong that you actually knew or mistyped? Mark it correct, and add your answer as a synonym in the same step.
  • If you get a review wrong because the kanji looks like another one, Wanilog shows both side by side so you can learn the confusion pair instead of just moving on.
  • Better ordering options, including reviewing your level-up blockers first.
  • Add images to your reading & meaning notes to jog your memory!
  • A live estimate of how long the rest of the batch will take, based on your review speed so far.
  • Native dark mode & custom themes (Sakura :cherry_blossom:, Sumi :fountain_pen: & Matcha :teacup_without_handle:)
  • 8 different 日本語 fonts to choose from

And a set of settings so the session runs the way you like:

  • Advance automatically after a correct answer
  • Reduce the penalty for repeated mistakes
  • Show all accepted readings and meanings after you answer
  • Choose how meaning and reading questions are separated

Lessons come with a difficulty marker too. Every item in the picker is tagged easy or hard before you start, so you can knock out the easy ones or go straight for the hard ones. Easy means the word uses readings you have already learnt. The rest of the ranking comes from each item’s Wanilog MuzuScore.

Please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

A bit more and Wanilog would become better/more convenient way to study WK content than WK itself with bunch of UserScript (constantly breaking) bolted on :face_with_peeking_eye: :smiley:

I tried out the reviews inside Wanilog and I like it. :slight_smile:

I looked at the lessons and it looks very useful, especially with my habit of always assembling a custom lesson.

I might have one suggestion (maybe it’s already there): after/when reviewing a kana vocab, also play the audio. I haven’t gotten any of those in a Wanilog review yet, but I know WaniKani doesn’t.
