I do my reviews and lessons on the train / tube in London. A problem is that if I lose mobile signal half way through the initial lesson reviews, I lose all my hard work at those lessons, which is terribly frustrating.
Does the api have enough functionality so that it would be possible (in principle) to write a website or app that provides lessons and reviews (and does not lose state when it loses connection)?
Or I wonder how hard or possible it might be for Koichi to upgrade the official website not to lose state.
I use the Android unofficial WaniKani app sometimes, but I donāt think itās being maintained. Are you using that?
It should be possible to write a new app that actually sorts the reviews the way that certain GreaseMonkey scripts do. I just installed Ultimate Reorder and it has the ability to order the reviews into 1x1 mode, with reading followed by meaning.
@Rowena: It sounds like youāre using a browser, so you could try using the script:
A side-benefit is that this can save you time while doing reviews.
Anyway, the existence of the reorder script means it should be possible to build a mobile client to do the same thing.
EDIT: I checked the Android app, and it has a setting called āSingle buttonā. Show ā1ā button, to enable item by item mode (reading and meaning are next to each other). I havenāt used it before, but it might do what I described.
Unfortunately, I donāt seem to be able to install any of the user-scripts on my tablet, which I use most of the time for WK (I have installed several on the desktop, so not complete ignorance on my part, but I should write a post requesting help at some pointā¦)
If itās a tablet, I donāt know of good ways to install user-scripts either. As far as I know, the Chrome phone and tablet browsers donāt support extensions, but Firefox might be able to support add-ons for Android (but not iOS).
Iām asking because I didnāt notice that button for a long time: are you aware of the wrap-up button? That way, your risk is at least limited. You would only lose 10 items at a time, not your entire review session.
When Iām on my laptop, I always use a script to order the items so that reading & meaning are combined and there is nothing to be lost because an item is done and processed immediately.
Thank you all for the comments and suggestions. I use the mozilla browser on my android phone, which lets me install tampermonkey and user scripts. Reordering has been a big help so I donāt lose half completed reviews. I also find it very helpful to get apprentice reviews done first
