Hello hello, welcome! There’s a script that shows stroke order diagrams with lessons, reviews, and on the individual item pages. ^^ > [@\[Userscript\] Stroke Order Diagram](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-stroke-order-diagram/46724): > > This is a fork of [the original Stroke Order script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/x/5040) which has recently started having a few issues. The original author @looki does not seem to be around anymore, so with a fix from @killergerbah I will take up maintenance of this script. Unless of course @looki comes back and is against it. Stroke Order Diagram Inserts stroke order diagrams from Jisho into reviews, lessons, and kanji pages.

I recall seeing a script a while ago for printing writing practice sheet. > [@Writing Practice PDFs (Download in comments)](https://community.wanikani.com/t/writing-practice-pdfs-download-in-comments/5701): > > Hey everyone, I have been using WaniKani for a while now and love it. The only thing I really miss is writing practice. That’s why I have been coding a little script (available [here](https://github.com/suchmaske)) to generate PDFs for writing practice based on WaniKani’s levels. This [image](https://imgur.com/WYeMbRZ) shows an example page of the PDFs generated. If you want to tinker around with my code, feel free to do so. In case you just want to download the PDFs, you will find them [here](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/241661/WK-KanjiPapers.zip). I hope it helps you a little. Have fun and cheers. … ---

another WK user has made an app called [Ringotan](https://community.wanikani.com/t/ringotan-free-app-for-learning-how-to-write-kanji/51702) to help practise writing kanji. for now only available on android though… ---

I posted a kanji writing deck on Kitsun a few weeks ago [here](https://kitsun.io/store/detail/618943294208e5581891ff5f). There are stroke order diagrams within the cards and there is a WaniKani filter link in the description to follow along (along with link to Kitsun’s app) if you choose to coincide, otherwise tagged by N-level. Front cards include both meaning/reading to limit guesswork of similarities (an issue I’ve had with prior tools) and can be used with a number of handwriting keyboards. I practiced some writing long ago but stopped thinking I have no intention or use to write in daily life…but now I’m biting the bullet just to improve. My issue with pen-to-paper repetition is that I tend to space out by third repeat which is a waste of time and SRS can by far better manage this process. I’m not looking to be a shodo master but I’m seeing the limits of relying on reading vocab/collocations via input alone. Mnemonics are a great start but not a long term solution for separating the list of similar looking kanji in isolation, especially as your knowledge base grows…help in reading handwriting as well. I’ve had several natives comment on how I could anyone could actually learn kanji properly without writing them, I’m starting to finally understand what they meant.
