That looks interesting, hope someone shares an updated version of this with the kanji in learning sessions. <3
These should be added for sure:

Hey there! First off, thanks so much for making this! It’s been really helpful for me. I dunno if you’re still updating this or not, but I figured I’d suggest a pair of similar kanji that keep throwing me off, and which are not listed as being similar to each other:
遣 and 遺
Carry on!
EDIT: Just clicked on lsh3rd’s links and lo and behold, they are the same ones I suggested. Oops. But hey, I’m not the only one!
These two maybe?

Nice extension by the way.
One more similar pair not flagged that probably should be:

To me, West looks like Inside. And both look like Four.
有 looks a lot to me like 友, and to confuse things even more they have similar readings.

Profit (利) is similar to Pear (梨)
庄 - MANOR is very similar to
圧 - PRESSURE
Hmm… doesn’t look like anyone’s making the updates based on input to this thread…
Since the WK team has added “Similar Kanji” as an actual feature of the site, the creator of this script may not be keeping as much of an eye on it now. I would suggest posting your similar kanji in the official WK thread for it so the developers can add it for you.
Oooh… Personally I still rely on this script over what WK has added. Even though there are some I don’t think look similar in this list, it always has the ones I’m mixing up for me.
WK is still missing some kanji for me…
I don’t think it hurts. But yeah, I don’t know if this script is still supported or not.
集 and 進 please?
Collect and Advance. In vocabulary I don’t confuse them… but get them alone… and for some reason I do. I was probably just about to burn Collect. (I’ve previously knocked Advance back down to Guru.)
Seeing them side by side, they are so different. But somehow… I don’t know how… alone I just can’t.
If you’re still updating this (I’m not sure if you are, since WK has put in a bit of a section.)
EDIT: Ooh, a great zombie movie is above my post.
I’m happy the WK stuff decided to implement this, and I also don’t wanna take away @anon20839864 's job, so won’t update this any further, ごめん 
Oh, I see. *sad* (But yours were so handy right at the top. I like your placement better… Also the other comments I said a month ago remain true too.)
I’ll have to find Kristen’s thread…but wait! That would have been archived (and I thought this would’ve been too) so I shouldn’t be able to reply. I’m getting quite confused.
I’ve been using this script for ages and think it’s really fantastic. I’ve recently been going through my leech items and this script has been absolutely invaluable.
I wonder if it would be possible to incorporate it into lessons? I’d love to be able to see which kanji are similar right from the off - might help prevent the mix-ups occurring in the first place.
(By the way, anyone who hasn’t installed this because WK now has this feature: this version is infinitely superior to WK’s own version, which I’ve found to be almost completely useless.)

Loyalty and afflicted (忠 and 患)
Middle heart and middle middle heart (or skewer heart)
I completely agree.
錦(nishiki-brocade) and 綿 (men), cotton are similar.
Just adding to the list to keep a record. I’ll drop a note to wk support. It’s a pity that we have overlapping functions that are not quite at the same level.
I am getting :
“Something unexpected happened while trying to load similar kanji. ごめんなさい。”
Is it just me?
