Kaniwani Major Update: 1.3.4!

First of all, ive been using KaniWani for a while now and I love it, thanks so much! This question might have already been asked before, but I was thinking whether some kind of useful-vocabulary-only would be possible to add. I know that determining “usefulness” is pretty arbitrary, but I feel that there is a pretty legit consensus about most words. I don’t fault Wanikani for teaching me uncommon vocab, as it reinforces the kanji readings, but for Recall specifically, I’d want to focus on which words I would actually be able to use in conversation, if that makes sense?
For example, there are lots of words in Wanikani that native speakers will tell you “No we don’t use that”, as well as many vocabs with the same meaning, of which most likely, 1 or 2 are the most frequently used. Like 幼児、児童 and all the other words for children, while most people will be satisfied with using 子供 instead.

This is just a first thought, so I havent researched whether anyone has a list of useful-only vocab from wanikani, but maybe something would be possible?
