Nope, it’s not possible to do either of that with Flaming Durtles and I think it’s unlikely it ever will.
Daaaaamn that’s such a shame. I’ve been using Flaming Durtles for so long and am so used to its interface features that I don’t know if I can replicate it. I know I definitely won’t get the immediate response and fluidity that I’m used to (an underrated feature) from using a mobile Web browser with chrome extensions.
Is there a list of equivalent userscripts Flaming Durtles uses?
I haven’t even looked at that script that was to add vocab for ages, and it’s not something I have time to look at for the moment. If it works for you great, but if not I don’t know when or if I’ll ever get around to fixing it.
The one thing that I think would really elevate this app is if it displayed phonetic-semantic information, similarly to how the “visually similar kanji” info is shown for each WK kanji entry.
Hi, today I got a new level 10 kanji: 頁 and I haven’t been able to type it? The keyboard will not convert the じ to its katakana equivalent and so I’m stuck 
Is there something I’m missing?
If I’m not mistaken if you type it with capital letters it will convert it to katakana but I’m pretty sure it takes hiragana for most answers as well.

Oh right thank you! I forgot you could do that. Generally it does take hiragana but for this one it converted the first syllable correctly but not the second which I think caused the issue.
Hi everybody and thank you @ejplugge for your wonderful work.
I immediately looked for an app after starting wanikani and yours is by far the one I like the most.
However one thing I really liked in another one (jakeipuu) is the audio for context sentences.
I’m not fluent enough to tell how good is the pronunciation with Google AI, but it definitely helps to be able to check your vocab reading after trying to do it by yourself.
I would love to see this functionality within Flaming Durtles. I absolutely don’t know how much work it would be to do so though. Just wanted to let you know.

@ejplugge Hi, and thank you for creating this app. I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it works very well!
First question:
It is possible to add synonyms (which is very useful since english isn’t my first language). However, I’m wondering: is it also possible to edit them, or remove some of them when we add one by mistake? I couldn’t find a way to do this.
My second question:
Is it also possible to add custom mnemonics like on the website? Adding additional mnemonics in my main language would be very useful, but unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to do this.
Thank you for your time!

You can add (and remove) all of that when you tap the “My notes…” option of an item. Synonyms can also be added with the + button below the meaning mnemonic.

Thank you for the quick reply, I wasn’t aware of the “My notes…”!
I will start making use of it @Kappa421
As a feature request, would it be possible to have a little “+” directly on the page for the mnemonics, just like we have for synonyms? When you have a lot of new vocab and kanjis you want to add mnemonics for, it’d save quite a bit of time. @ejplugge 
hi, i wanted to use the dark theme but it changes the colors of the subject types and stuff?? i wanted everything to be the same, just with a dark background :- (
it shows the hex code for the color in theme customization, but it won’t let me actually tap on that and enter my own, so i can’t even enter the regular colors precisely… :- (
Is there any reason why Flaming Durtles does not accept the answer “Mr” for 「殿」 while it’s accepted as correct answer when doing reviews on browser? It’s only missing the full stop (or period) at the end.
If I were to guess, it’s because “mr.” is 3 characters, and “mr” is 2, and the “close enough” algorithm doesn’t work well for typos of less than 3 characters. I think it might be implemented differently than in the Wanikani front end.

Are you sure it’s implemented in Wanikani frontend? Shouldn’t something like this (Levenshtein distance calculation or some similar algorithm) be implemented in the backend?
I imagined it’s in the front end, since scripts can undo an incorrect answer through javascript. I don’t really know though.

Flaming Durtiles has offline support, so even if WaniKani supports it for apps to use when online, the app still needs its own implementation.

That’s a good point, didn’t think of that. My original thinking was that this has nothing to do with Levenshtein distance. I thought “Mr” without the full stop is an accepted answer that is hidden on WK (used to be called secret whitelist).
It’s no big deal, though. I’ll just add the full stop at the end when reviewing.
Is there a feature for showing a toast upon correct answers with alternative meanings / readings, or would that be a new feature request?
