Well, in that case, for sure! That’s exactly what it aims to be!
You could also consider marking all WK kanji and vocabulary as “known” (suspend) through the import feature. That way you’d only get kanji and vocabulary from the adventure unlocks that are not taught on WK
Seemed to happen when hitting ENTER while the “done” modal was open. I’ve fixed it so it correctly marks it as done and then redirects you correctly. Should be good from now on. Real sorry about that!
Can you implement a notice when the user is making a spelling mistake (English meaning)? As a non native speaker I do make mistakes but typos are not highlighted or noticed and therefore I don’t know when making mistakes.
We do have a typo tolerance by default for English meanings, yeah, as that’s not the target language and getting it wrong over that would for most people be a little bit irritating at times
Would you want it to be marked as wrong or just have it give a visual indication (like say, a yellow input background) without marking it as wrong when you have a typo?
Just a little hint like you suggested with the visual indication. Ups, you have a typo… - thing like that. A typo tolerance is totally fine!
I understand when some people will get irritated by it or its getting on their nerves. Maybe an on/of switch in the settings would be an option?
As of right now, not yet! It’s on our top priority list for “smaller features”. Here are the other small ones tagged as top priority on our todo list at the moment, in case anyone is wondering:
I noticed some inconsistency in the allowed meanings of the days of the month. Sometimes only “X-th day of the month” is allowed and sometimes “day X”. When learning the days of the month いちにち is given first but it should be ついたち to not confuse the user and to stay in the pattern.
This is because some of them have had changes suggested from users to add those answers as “allowed” (invisible) answers You can send in such feedback from the “Suggest Changes” action in the top-right of the reviews/lessons pages, after which we can accept the proposed change in our CMS. We typically check a big batch of these every few days
We’re also in the progress of double-checking our early Vocabulary unlocks in general and moving things around here and there in the coming week(s). There are a few kinks in there that we hope to straighten out ^^ Thanks for letting me know about 一日!
Some of you might’ve seen it already, but a small (but very impactful) new update landed yesterday
This update should fix performance issues on the adventure pages (if you had any) and also fix the no-audio-on-iOS issue that sometimes occurred after navigating back and forth multiple times. Along with some smaller bugfixes that we managed to sneak in too:
Another new update landed yesterday! This time we really tried to focus on getting smaller but high-priority features and improvements in there. Including new reviews styling, lightning mode, and mistake delay. Here are a few screenshots:
Any possibility that this layout/template can be added to Kitsun?
I want to pre-study vocabulary lists for Manga that include Kanji that I haven’t learned yet on WK, so I want the Kana to appear below/above it. I could take a layout that only does Kana → Meaning, but I DO want to get used to seeing these Kanji over time.
I am aware that some templates have furigana support, but that would mean I have to manually edit >1000 entries for one volume to bring it into this form: 嗅[か] ぎ 付[つ] ける
The vocabulary lists are usually in this format (example):
Japanese
Kana
Meaning
Page
Notes
好酸球
こうさんきゅう
eosinophil
2
a type of white blood cell that …
雑菌
ざっきん
microorganism
9
嗅ぎ付ける
かぎつける
to sniff out; to get wind of

(Yes, I am trying to study vocabs from the はたらく細胞 manga)
I registered yesterday new to Kitsun since I heard it was just a plug-and-play solution, but even after a full morning and afternoon full of research I couldn’t find any available template or make it seem to work by myself (I am not a HTML/CSS guy).
TL;DR - a template like this would be nice on Kitsun:
Hey! We’d be missing a bunch of data there in order to get that layout on Kitsun (it was made for the conjugation tool after all), but editing the default layouts to display kana rather than furigana should be really easy though!
I’ll give you some further instructions on how to do this soon, as I just arrived in a foreign country (completely jet lagged ) and haven’t had a chance to open my laptop yet
I’m wondering if I may have missed this, but is there an easy way to import known words from Kitsun to MaruMori? I’m finding the import tool on MaruMori very intuitive to use but I’m not sure how to export my known words list from Kitsun.
Actually, I didn’t mean particular this layout from Marumori. It was more of a visual reference.
It’s just about the kana (Though, it’s true that the layout and the colors are nice too)
I tried editing it with the help of the internet, but it was pretty overwhelming, some colors in the editing tool were almost invisible, and some windows didn’t let me edit anything. I thought I had done something wrong, so eventually, I gave up. CSS feels like a black box to me… Sorry for that!
Heya! I just double-checked and the default kana -> meaning layout does show the kanji form too, right below it. It displays the first reading value as the kana-form. Would that already do what you are looking for?
Usually, it won’t let you edit the CSS of default templates unless you make a personal copy first. For the default layouts you can not edit anything, as they are shared between users. When you create a layout under the default template, you can edit the HTML but not the CSS, as that’s bound to the template. But you can make a personal copy of the template (which also copies all layouts under it) first, after which you will have full control over everything.
That might work. Not the prettiest, since the small Kanji get less importance and look a bit odd on the bigger Kana, but it might suffice
Maybe I’ll ask a friend if he can modify such a template for me, so I don’t disturb you on your business trip / holidays in the foreign country.
By the way, it may be that with the above template the Kana are also shown for Kana only words, e.g. となると. Is there a way to insert some logic into the template that checks
if Vocabulary == Reading:
hideKana()
? Just asking if that’s possible. I never learned Javascript, but I can understand and modify already existing code (thanks userscripts!), so that’s fine.
