[STATS] Statistics site

Thanks for the bug report!

As it turns out, Wanikani’s font file didn’t have Elf in it. Wanikani still uses an image for that radical (it’s the only one that still does!)
I added a vector to the font file now, so it’s fixed. [Note: It may take up to an hour for the old cache to expire]

Well golly, look at that.

This is super interesting. Thanks for this. :3

You’ll be just like this guy.

@rfindley Is it possible to see how our accuracy has changed over time? I don’t know if the API returns data in a form that would make this possible, but if so it would be very interesting.

The API does have enough info to graph accuracy versus level, but not accuracy versus time.

Unfortunately, it’s not something I’d have time to implement at the moment, though. :disappointed:
Other than small bug fixes here and there, all of my time is going into a grammar project.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

I’m intrigued! What is this grammar project of which you speak?

A modern alternative to textbook learning. :wink:

This is a nitpick… in the accuracy section you round to two decimal places. But you don’t force the formatting to two decimal places. So when the last digit is a 0, it’s excluded. This causes the text to not align consistently. For example, I think 92.4% should instead be formatted as 92.40% so that it is consistent.

Very intrigued…

Sign me up for testing! : D

:open_mouth:
When can we give it a try?

Please, tell us more!
+1 for beta testing

Done! Didn’t realize I had missed the fixed decimal on that row. :slight_smile:

@riccyjay @AnimeCanuck @Timelinker @Learnme,

Hehe… all in good time :wink:
I’ve got a lot of work to do, so don’t get too excited yet.

Maybe EtoEto v2 will achieve some of what I’m striving for, but we won’t know until it comes out. I would love to be working with them on it, but I’m also enjoying working on my own path. It’s a good learning experience, both for programming and Japanese.

Anyway, the concepts for what I’m doing come out of my own experiences with the Japanese learning process, with all of its ups and downs. Each tool/app/site currently out there feels to me like such a small slice of a very large Japanese-learning pie, and most of them only address needs peripherally, while somewhat (or entirely) missing the most important thing: an overall structured learning system. Textbooks do structured learning well, but they’re still based on archaic teaching methods. Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics have come such a long way, but they haven’t yet gotten much foothold in modern education.

To sum it up, I’m attempting to apply some of the modern understanding of the brain to the Japanese learning process. The intent is to start by training your brain to think like a native, both linguistically and culturally. No more translating in your head.

That sounds really, really exciting.
I’m even down for alpha testing. : D

Likewise! Sign me up for alpha testing too @rfindley :wink:

If this was supposed to stop us getting excited…epic fail.

Seriously though, that sounds really interesting. I’m sure you’re going to find a very willing bunch of users around here whenever you have something ready. Good luck with putting it all together!

@rfindley I had an idea to enhance the progress bars and wanted to get your thoughts. What if, when you select a level after yours, it keeps the blue for the bars up to your current level but uses a different color for the future levels. I think this would make it easier to see how much more you’ll learn by getting to another level. And hopefully you can avoid the problem of too much going on by picking a color/shade that is similar to the current blue, but still distinguishable.

Linking a suggestion from another thread…
