Well, with no thoughts from Kristen about it… and no other objections, I’m going to move this now.
I guess Kristen can just move it back if it doesn’t belong there/isn’t helpful.
Here goes!

We usually don’t work on weekends, fyi (if we did we’d all go insane).
Anyway, you guys have powers for a reason - feel free to use them (within reason, please don’t go crazy or we’ll have to take them away).

Thanks, Kristen. I do work on weekends… So it’s hard for me to remember that most people have “regular” 9-5 lifestyles, especially when the forums are international and people are up at weird hours.
^_^;
Haha, I guess that makes sense, though.
Does anyone happen to know whether there’s an Anki deck that covers the 常用漢字 not included in Wanikani?
And does anyone know where can I find @hinekidori’s Anki deck stuff on the new forum?
Perhaps you can find what you’re looking for here: https://community.wanikani.com/t/Some-Supplemental-Material/8121

Also this. The old link was bad. I’ll see if Hinekidori can update it.
Does anyone have a copy of 10k WK Breakdown they can link to?
Edit: Ohhh… the threads are archived… can’t be edited.

Great thanks. I’ve bookmarked that.
Here’s the direct link to Hine’s list of extra kanji: https://mega.nz/#!5V5kHbqJ!2-dv8fwe9Oa8oDdwMq6h5fcQuFYn8J7I9ejkxtEim-s
Hello,
I have a question that is probably a silly one (I never used a forum so sorry if I put this in the wrong place).
Q. How do you say the っ sound? When I see kanji as romaji the letter before is repeated (待って=matte, 真っ赤=makka, 切符=kippu) but when I heard it pronounced it sounded more like the letter before it gets elongated.
I will also add two observeration. I use the WaniKani via a mobile and there is a delay when characters change to hiragana. So since I type fast even if I hit all the keys for ここのつ in a non-Japanese keyboard, it can come out as ここおつ. Also if in a lesson, the last kanji page shows words that can be made using this kanji, but if the word is longer that 3 symbols, only first three remain in the box while the rest of the symbols wind up under the box so maybe rescalling the word for mobile might be a good idea.
It’s a small gap before the sound that comes next.
The mobile versions (yes, there are multiple) are made by users, and are unofficial. You can find threads for them in the API and Third-Party Apps category of the forum. That’s the best place to give them suggestions.
っ
That makes more sense, thank you. I couldn’t exactly figure out what the speakers are saying it so I thought it was an elongation and not a pause.
Wanikani
I misspoke. I don’t use an WanKani app; just a regular browser app on my mobile to access the site.
The second thing happens to me too on Chrome (mobile). This is something to tell @viet, but I bet he already knows about it. Next time you find something wrong with the site (like a design feature like this, or something that used to work and stops) there is a “BUGS” section in the WaniKani section of the forum.
I just click on it to see what it is, load the item page. Not the best solution, but it’s been okay. I like the font size being used for it currently. It’d be nice if the boxes were larger/could be wider instead.
Edit: also, mobile is only psuedo-supported.
hey guys! i’ve just recently joined wanikani. I’ve also downloaded the mobile app for wanikani. Problem is i can’t find my public api key anywhere so I can’t sign in 
. Where do i find it? or perhaps I have to complete a certain number of lessons first?
Nice! thank you so much!

I’m not sure if I’m using WK right. I’ve heard people complaining (and people complaining about people complaining) about WK being slow at start. At first, I kinda agreed. I was first given 26 radicals and it took couple days to get them to guru, then it was 18 kanjis, and again, couple days to guru them. After that however, I feel like the system just throws you into the deep end of the pool; all of a sudden I was given 34 new radicals,8 kanjis and 44 new vocabulary, all at the same time. Am I somehow doing this wrong, is it supposed to ramp up at such ridiculous rate? I always thought that my memory was decent but this is just overwhelming, suddenly trying to remember ~80 new meanings and readings in a single session.
No, it’s working as intended. You can do it in chunks of course, but just be aware that if you do it at half speed, you will double the time it takes to complete it. There are a lot of kanjis in japanese…
Okay,thanks. I’m just a bit worried that when I get to level 3, the system suddenly wants me to learn like 300 new meanings and readings.
It’s around 30-35 kanji per level, and 1-2 vocab items per kanji you burned from last level. 60-80 new lessons will be the norm.
Hey, just started! I’ve got about 3 chapters of Genki under my belt and wanted to work on kanji simultaneously. Is there a way to see your time count down until your next set of radicals or kanji will be available? The interface is a little confusing at first glance and it’s hard to know what to do next. Some sort of visible countdown might be helpful. Just a thought
