[iOS/Android/Windows] Jakeipuu

@Pakkapao hasn’t returned since 2021, and the application has not been open-sourced.

It still works for me. I really appreciated being able to pick and choose which kanji I wanted to learn…and change the lesson sizes.

Post update, but Jakeipuu still works, but selecting vocabulary only works if you’ve already learned the kana only vocabulary. I don’t know how reviews will happen though yet.

However, because I can still select kanji or vocab its still worth keeping the app.

Coming back to give another shot at asking @Pakkapao to please open source his incredible app. You would have control over what gets released, or you could pass that to someone else if you don’t have time! You could protect your main branch so that you have to approve any PRs that go into main! I (and the other devs in this thread) really just want to help add on to my favorite WK app and implement some of the commonly requested features. Pls pls pls open source this app so we can help take some of the burden to maintain it off your shoulders.

If Pakkapao turned off e-mail notifications in this forum, I don’t think you can reach him by tagging him. He hasn’t been active in the forum since 2 years…
Your best bet is to ask him directly - maybe with a Google Search you can find out his web profile? :wink:

It looks like it’s not working at all now :frowning:

I just used it now. It works fine, but you must NOT have any kana only words in review or lessons.

Anybody else having issues with Jakeipuu today? Specifically, if I do a set of reviews, it records none of them as completed.

This looks really good compared to other alternatives. Nice job! :grinning:

Same.
Cannot review on jakeipuu.
So sad it broken before the JLPT examination.

So, how to do selective review now?

At least lessons still work, but unfortunately reviews don’t. Really dont want this app to finally die, but no choice.

Thanks for the reply/confirmation. Hopefully just a short term thing.

It won’t be out for another month or two, but the past couple months I’ve been working on an app that’s really similar to Jakeipuu!

I haven’t been satisfied with the current choices (lack of opensource and cross-platform options), and this app no longer being updated made me commit to the project haha

Edit/side notes: I’ve looked through app posts as I’ve been building this one and think I generally know what features people generally find useful, but let me know if ya’ll have anything specific you’d like!
The app is android and iOS. It’s technically web/tablet too, but I’ve been developing with mobile screen sizes in mind so releases for web/tablet will come later.

Edit #2: adding screenshot to give you an idea of the aesthetic

That would be nice. Its unfortunate our options are thin on android. If you can retain the ability to choose each word/kanji in new lessons, that’s the biggest selling point for me which is lacking in the smoldering turtles.

Well that, and the aesthetic matching wani kani helps consistency. And the dark mode. And undo. and. and. and… :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit: Now that I think about it, every feature I like is somehow missing in the alternative. There really is no replacement for this app. :confused:

Oh yeah, the ability to select specific subjects is one of the reasons why I love Jakeipuu, I’ve been so frustrated since it’s been partly broken with the kana-only vocabulary. And now today with the reviews not even working :frowning:
Here’s a sneak peak of my app! I’m working on the review feature right now, like 3/4 done with that and it’s the most complicated part of the app. I’m a software engineer and this is just one of my passion/side projects :slight_smile:

Wow okay that looks very very promising! Would it be possible to review individual words like you can when learning new ones? It’d be overkill but nice when I have a huge review stack but really want to just level up. :stuck_out_tongue:

Can’t wait to try it out.

Thank you! I can definitely put that on my list haha. That’s funny though, I was just wondering yesterday if people would find reviewing specific items useful. Since I’m already adding that feature to lessons should be easy to add to reviews too. I’ll let you know when the beta version is out!

I’m very excited! Thank you
