Kaniwani Major Update: 1.3.4!

christiaaan said... Yesterday I used KW on my WP8.1 phone with the Edge browser and and noticed that the IME is ignoring the first letter. I remember that this issue was discussed somewhere. If I type "hyaku" the IME shows "やく", for the correct "ひゃく" I need to type "hhyaku". This happened with every word. It is manageable, but pretty annoying.
 Can you try the same input here on your phone, and let us know if you get the same issue?

Both work fine today. Strange. Next time I have a problem I’ll treat kanawana and give feedback if it occurs on both sites. 

Edit: The moment I changed the tab back to kaniwani, it was messed up again. Not for kanawana though.

I’ve tried unsuccessfully to reproduce the problem on a browser emulator with several Lumia models running 8.1 and IE.
Unfortunately, without an actual phone to test, this might be out of scope for me to fix since it seems to be inherent to wanakana.

My deepest apologies, if there’s a japanese IME available for your phone maybe give that a go since it might not have the same input problem (and it’s good practice too).

An extra IME might be a good idea. I will see if I can get something that is convenient when it comes to change between romaji and kana. I think it is hard to reproduce, as the issue is not always there, but seems to have another variable that is unclear (to me at least). Thanks for the effort though, normally you get “don’t use a windows phone” as a reply for technical issues.

I’m getting this error upon attempting to load the webpage:



Tried it on another browser besides the one I’m on, so eliminated that. Is the site down?

I’ve been getting the same error today.

Also just wanted to stop in to say the site is so great! I just started using it yesterday and it’s really stretching my brain muscles.

Same issue, “502 bad Gateway”.

I’m guessing they’re working on something. I’ll check back in a few hours…

I also just tried to get on to kaniwani and experienced the same error. I assume the site must be down. 

Sorry all! We’re back up and running though.  A group of gerbils got into the server.

Awesome! Thanks again for the amazing service!

I get a Server Error (500) when I try to log into the server :frowning: I tried clearing my cache and cookies as well.

Still occurring now?

Unfortunately yes, at least for me. Since yesterday, I am unable to login (Server Error 500).

Apart from that, a great tool. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

Edit: Sometimes I got the message:

Forbidden (403)

CSRF verification failed. Request aborted.


I am also getting the 500 right now.

I get this message every time I load the site. I can still do review normally though.

So in the spirit of adding more checks on data ingestion to prevent bugs, I introduced a bug. A fix was just pushed now.  Go ahead and give it a shot

I’m in now, looks wonderful. Thank you.

 Nice! That worked! Thanks a lot.

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again. I absolutely love this site.
I have gotten used to a bunch of scripts on wanikani so there are a few things that I miss when I use kaniwani.
So I’d like to put in a feature request.
I’ve thought about asking in the original thread of the script I’m looking for, but it appears that the dev is no longer maintaining it and it’s being maintained by Mempo (looks like he maintains a lot of abandoned scripts).
The script I’m looking for is called anki mode. 
It basically emulates anki, which allows you to press “space” to show the answer, and if you knew the answer you press “1”, and if you didn’t know the answer, you press"2".
This speeds up the review process a lot, and seeing as I now review on wanikani AND on kaniwani, it takes up a good chunk of my time.
I’m on 500+ reviews now on kaniwani, so this feature would be really nice. (I get if this is not planned, or possible, just thought I would try my luck)

Mempo’s updated version of the script can be found here:
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/15950-wanikani-anki-mode

The original script can be found here:
/t/Userscript-Wanikani-Anki-Mode/8399
(outdated link, use Mempo’s link above)

Now I’m not all that tech savvy, so I’m not sure if it’s easier for you to implement a feature like this using the script’s code, or if it is easier for a dev of a script to add your website to the list of sites it runs on.
Anyway, please let me know your thoughts. (I might post a similar request in the other script thread if it turns out I should ask there instead :P)

Thanks again for the hard work!

Hi~ I had not tried KaniWani before. This post made me curious so I signed up and I absolutely love it! It is really useful. Thank you so much!~
