Ky.is Estimates

Can someone point me to the developer for this app, or at least the original thread?  My estimates are really off - it has me leveling up later tonight, but by my count I’ll by short by three or four kanji actually, and should level up by tomorrow (Friday) at the very earliest.  I just wanted to give the developer a heads up.

I think the level up estimate is based on the time of your previous (few?) levels (excepting outliers?) rather than the actual status of your current level items, but I couldn’t tell you for sure.

I don’t know who the developer is, but in this thread here rfindley finds a way to make it more accurate.

Estimates like this are bound to be a little off, though, they’re just estimates after all.

I hit level 50 a week before the estimated time :p  

EDIT: ninja’d

 Right, but in the threads posted below, people say that it actually does calculate based on the status of your current kanji.

 it does both i think. at first, it uses your average level time, but after you've unlocked enough kanji to level up, it uses their SRS level

 Hmm, ok then.  I mean, I get that these are really estimates, and I might expect it to be off when there's a difference in terms of how things are being rounded when you're technically one kanji away from leveling up, but by three or four?  That's a big difference.
