On a strict side, Mark as correct and add to synonyms would be fair. Otherwise, mark typo as wrong, if you realize fast enough, and Back button.
Also, I remain critical of hidden typo-accepting synonyms and ineffective no-typo block list.

I personally am very upset with the makers of oreos for including so many in a box. Donāt they understand that some people wont be able to control themselves and will end up ruining their health by eating all of them at once?! We canāt be expected to regulate things for ourselves and be responsible or else those poor people will hurt their tummies! They need to at least cut down on the quantity by 80% and the people who want to buy oreos in bulk can buy it from a 3rd party retailer.

exactly. For example, I have been using bunpro these last few years as well, and they have made massive improvements to their content, user interface, etc. They have been constantly improving their product, while in the last few years wanikani gave us, I dunno, the extra study thing? Thatās about it really

Well, to be fair, WK has been improving the content itself ā new kanji and vocabā¦
Nevertheless, I have to admit, you have a pointā¦
I mean, I purrsonally quite like WaniKani the way it is and donāt really need any new features, but I can understand people who are frustratedā¦

I agree. After I started Wanikani last year, I paid for a 1-year subscription, planning to get the lifetime (or another year, depending on how it went) when the year ran out. Since they took away the summary page, and they donāt bother making other useful upgrades, Iām seriously considering not renewing at all. I think Wanikani does a good job with mnemonics, but Iām at a point that I can probably get by using other tools and searching out mnemonics when I need them.

kanjidamage (already has them for free!)
and you can make your own for free!
lots of resources that donāt cost anything and some do like a wild marumori (which is not just a good platform that is actively being built and maintained you might die from cuteness overload!)

Itās great you didnāt need to use them (or just had no problem making it harder for yourself). To other users, there are evidently āall kinds of user scriptsā that make it either much easier and more efficient or even at all possible for them to use Wanikani. People are different.
Iād still be on level 23 after coming back to a large pile of reviews if the reorder script hadnāt made it possible to take it on in a more (or at all) structured way.

Indeed, also Oreos should be made the way I personally wish they were, not the way they actually are. At least if they want my few dollars, without which they would surely go bankrupt.

The cream filling is there to REINFORCE THE COOKIES and give the oreo structural integrity so it doesnāt fall apart.

I understand how many will be frustrated.
I, for one, donāt really care. When I first found WaniKani, I tried the initial free levels, found they suited me exceedingly nicely, and was more than happy to shell out money for it (it was my first ever subscription ā and I hate subscriptions with a passion!)
For years, WaniKani has done for me exactly what I paid it in the beginning: gave me an SRS that worked for my brain to learn kanji.
Would new features be nice? Of course. And to be honest, they have done new stuff.
Are the new features groundbreaking? No, but again, that doesnāt stop me from learning kanji with their core system one way or the other.
But then again, Iām a type of person that is very spineless. Or, shall I say, hates confrontation. If something ābadā happens, I simply shrug and keep living. This is probably not good in a world that demands constant updates and newer and shinier thingsā¦
Iām just glad it works for my peaceful and slug-like mentality lol
Itās debatably not great, but for me, āIf it aināt brokeā¦ā really should be my motto

I agree, in last 4 years what we got is just new 200-300s words. Personally this app is useless after about 1.5 year (hit level 60).
Total 8000-9000 words is nothing when aiming N1. I would say around 30k-50k words needed. This app is could be so much better if they put more effortsā¦
Cosmetic improvement is not the main reason to use this app though.

I donāt think WK has changed much in 10 years, the biggest improvements Iāve enjoyed are the warnings / blocks when you input a answer thats slightly wrong and it warns your rather than marking you incorrect immediately.

I donāt want to defend WaniKani as i dislike the lack of improvements as well.
For example I would have thought they could add the missing Kanji from N1. They could easily add some levels over 60 or stuff like that.
But I have to say that I highly disliked Kanjidamage when I tried it in addition to WK. Some of the mnemonics are just trash. One of them said something like: I couldnāt come up with one do it yourself asshole.
For me the best point about WK is that the mnemonics a lot of times build up on each other with reappearing readings like the sheep or ms chou, etc.
MaruMori looks realy cute and promising but the test phase did not convince me yet.
Sometimes there are even too many lessons for just a tiny bit of kanji and often the lessons are just like: read this page. That did not help me a lot in really remembering the stuff. I expected more gamification from the appearence.
By the way, do we know how many customers Wk actually has?
I bought lifetime several years ago pretty cheap fĆ¼r 150 or something like that. The company is definitely not paying any bills anymore with my money. So do we know if there are even more than a few people maintaining the site?

One year and a half is still a lot of time. Many people need much more, and most donāt even finish. Once you finish Wanikani, they also encourage you, beside burning everything, to move on to immersion rather than stay on the website. So yes, there is no point to stay in Wanikani once youāre done with it, and Wanikani knows that.
I personally just use Tsurukame with Anki Mode on iOS, and I feel reviewing on mobile is much easier and comfortable than on the desktop. Gotta be grateful that we have such an amazing community as well. I feel like I got what I paid for, and now Wanikani can move slowly to the background for me.
