Where would this fit under? It’s an overview with short explanations of each grammar point. The explanations aren’t detailed, so I wouldn’t recommend it primarily to learn from, but it’s a good overview.

I just wanted to say that Assimil, the publisher of the Japanese course I’ve been recommending all this time, Japanese with Ease, finally has released a digital version of the English edition. Here’s a link:
There’s still no sign of a physical copy of this edition, but there are apps that run on Android, iOS, Windows and macOS, and there’s a free trial that offers access to the first seven (of 98) lessons, so I’d say this is a good opportunity to try out this course and get hold of it if one finds that it’s suitable.
(I’m not sure where to put this because it’s not an online textbook, but it’s also not a physical textbook. I would call it a ‘digital/digitised textbook’, but it seems strange to create a new category just for one course.)

Noting that “Erin’s Challenge! I can speak Japanese.” site closed. Luckily, they opened a new site! I’m not sure what (if anything) changed between the sites, so I can’t speak to that, but I replaced the old link with the new one.

I didn’t see anyone else add it yet, so hopefully it doesn’t overlap–but I added Sarah Moon Japanese, a Youtube channel discussing grammar, songs, and the show Sailor Moon.
Mobile supported dictionary / fast mobile app to recommend? Featureful, like suggest-on-type, and wildcards ○○, may be helpful.
I am on Android.
I also may need OCR; but even Google Translate’s camera doesn’t always work.
I am looking for search history, to build my vocabulary lists as well.
Sometimes vocabularies / phrases don’t exist. It would be helpful to add.
Kanjiverse has word/kanji frequency, suggested completions, let’s you filter by a ton of restrictions, let’s you keep track of your search history, and keep track of a personal list.
It doesn’t have OCR, but it does have a look up by kanji component. I also don’t think there is any way to add things (it is all just pulled from jmdict)
I’m looking for a resource that I previous found on the forum, but can’t currently find. It has decks of vocab for specific books/manga/anime. You can enter your WK level to filter out all known vocab that way iirc. I think it starts with a c but I just can’t remember the name…

Might that be Kitsun, maybe?
(There is also Torii, in case I guessed wrong.)
No, neither of those are it sadly

Jpdb also does something like that and has a bigger library, I’m not sure if it filters by WK or not.

Their srs is hot garbage compared to mine though
Like saying jisho is better than wanikani because it has more words on it
Whoa there.
Do you want to give some reasoning or just throw out insults?
I’m not really sure what insult I’m throwing out. They literally just have a flip card system or import to anki like every other Japanese website that isn’t actually primarily an srs
Same thing with websites like Japanese.io and satori reader. They got an srs tacked on but they’re not good or fleshed out, just conveniently there. They’re reading apps not srs.
Likewise, jpdb is a database for words and statistics in mediums, not an srs.
Koohi is an srs. Wanikani is an srs. Kitsun is an srs. Their srs work better out of the box than all the above websites because that’s the point of them

That can be considered as insulting.

I mean sure. Id also say that libraries are hot garbage at being hotels and I’m sure people would know that that wasn’t meant to be demeaning if they knew what I was getting at
But yes, we weren’t on the same wavelength when I posted that so mb
On the flip side, since we’re being sensitive to potential insults, maybe you could see how someone saying my resource doesn’t deserve to be on a list because someone made a stripped down version whose main benefit is just that allows for user-submissions could feel insulting to my work. Whether it was intended to be or not
Where did this happen? My friend asked for resources, someone had already offered yours, and I mentioned another I found handy. I don’t see anyone besides you saying one is better or more deserving than the other.
