Can we get the visually similar kanji information in the lessons page? Would be very useful.

I see that there has already been a forum post about this, but it was two years ago and there was no reply from the mods.

And also, what about a function that lets users vote on which kanji are visually similar? Since the implementation of this idea has gone very slow since it was introduced in 2016!

**The item inspector** allows you to get pop-ups for visually similar items and to even change the threshold of what gets listed. This isn’t during lessons though, unlike the Keisei-script, but still a very handy way of learning to distinguish kanji from each other. 🙂
