Apraxas said...Userscript that shows a little mark on items that will be Burned/Necessary for level up in the review windowOoo good idea! Yes this.
Sounds like what we need is a WaniKani shell that handles the API calls e.t.c. that you can attach the different functionality to.
This was brought up in another thread, but a “wrap it up” button would be great. So if you get a reading wrong, exit out of the session, come back in, remember the right reading and know the correct meaning, it still gets downgraded.
Now that we have that handy-dandy notes feature, what do you all think about adding notes to the dashboard right next to Vocab, Kanji, Radicals, Levels in it’s own little circle/button/thing?
I think that it would be cool to have all your notes organized in one space.
Some people write a note for each and every item, but if you are like me and write notes for problem items, than I think that it would greatly benefit studying and reviewing said problem items if they were all organized in one place.
At the very least, it would be nice to have a notes list under the Lattice or mark each Radical, Kanji, Vocab in the Lattice with something indicating that that item has a note.
Just a little red ticker/flag like they have for “NEW” items that indicates that an item has a note would be good enough for me.
A simple JavaScript that you can paste to your android browser to reorder lessons and reviews
Tampermonkey on android is useless…

You should check it out. /t/WaniKani-Mobile-End-of-Support/2134/1
Saponutti said...Ooo good idea! Yes this.You could just increase your lesson batch size to 10 and have 9 ordered items at once.
Also, I know you said it'd be difficult or something like that, but for your Lesson order extension, please reorder everything and not have the need to refresh in order to reorder only 4 items. Pleeaaase!
jakobd said...Those are indeed the ones. Display as a number would suit me fine, but the most approachable way is to superimpose a coloured hooked line over the kana reading as many J-J dictionaries do. I’ll provide a loose example below. For every part not underlined, just imagine there’s an overline to make it one seamless kinky snake. X means a mora (basically each full sized kana and half sized tsu, but not other half sized kana). Assume all words have a trailing particle (this is why hooks down at the end matter and define the difference between an N pitch accent and a 0 pitch accent on an N-morae word).Snave said... A plug in that adds accent number (the bit in square brackets) to the expanded info page on vocab items by yoinking it mercilessly from Excite.co.jp. Naturally, unless a perfect match is found in both reading and kanji, one is simply not listed. If you wish to take this a step further, the number could be displayed using the underline/overline/hook method on the reading.These?
The data would ideally be looked up, parsed and added to the page after loading to favour pop-up over extended load times.
What do they mean?

[0] = X|XXX
[1] = X|XXX
[2] = X|X|XX
[3] = X|XX|X
[4] = X|XXX|
Note that there is always a shift between morae one and two, and with the sole exception of an pitch accent 1, the shift is upward.
Should such an extension be made, and you want to be exceedingly awesome, having the snake pop up on your kana input after it has been deemed correct would be amazing as it'd allow users to test themselves, albeit in a non-assessed way.
nqthqn said...I really like this idea but I think there should be an option to exclude current level kanji and radicals.
- Have kanji and vocab appear in random fonts and font sizes, so the user will be able to recognize kanji in all shapes and sizes
nibill said... (not sure if it already exists, if not...)I second this one. I think of it as something similar to the "Measure text" feature from the great http://wstats.herokuapp.com/ , but instead working as an extension where it highlights the kanji you learned (with the progress color, maybe?) on the page.
Something (a Userscript I guess) which highlights all the already learned kanji
I would like an extension, that shows kanji that look similar to the kanji I’m learning. For example 料 is NOT 科! So I can compare them and see the differences.
jakobd said... Do you happen to have some audio examples for the different pitch accents?Not offhand, but the audio examples on the level 1-2 vocab should suffice better than any online examples: the voice actor Tofugu hired for levels 1-10 has by far the cleanest and clearest Japanese pitch shifts I've ever heard. Compare to Excite, or here: http://accent.u-biq.org/

I would like an interactive page that only shows what items I have in Apprentice, so that I know where I should focus my studies.
Snave said...Thanks, I'll download some of the audio then to compare it.jakobd said...

An indicator in reviews of what level the item displayed is currently at would be super cool thx
I love the random font idea, I’ve seen a couple old Japanese movies and they got kanji with text that’s BOLD AS !@#$
I like the idea of having a list of my apprentice items too.
I reckon a really useful tool would be one where you enter your grammar learning aid (Taekim, Textfugu, Genki, Minna no Nihongo etc) and what chapter you’re up to as well as the Wanikani API and it does the following:
1) Creates a vocab module of words from the Core decks that are composed of kanji you have reviewed to guru level on wk and drills you on those words wanikani style
2)Creates a sentence/grammar module… Once you have mastered sufficient vocab and grammar it populates this with sentences using the grammar you have learned from your textbook and vocab you have learned from wanikani, textbook and vocab module.
You should be able to drill recognition (Japanese to English) as well as English to Japanese.
I think this would be a great way to:
- Integrate wk with grammar study from the popular sources people are likely to be using.
- Compensate for shortcomings of guides like Taekim’s which people always complain do not provide enough exercises for use as a progressive textbook instead of a reference guide
- Train people to spontaneously produce Japanese content based on existing knowledge, consolidating one’s understanding of both grammar and vocab, rather than only learning to recognise and comprehend written Japanese.
Beyond the above something like Skritter, which drills stroke order (but way cheaper) would be great.
… anyway, enough dreaming… back to work.
I have been using the WaniKani mobile app quite a bit and the ability to sort and filter is quite good. I often use it to get an overview of when my current apprentice lvl items are due. And I really like the hide/show readings for a quick self review. Can we get something similar on the Dashboard?
Can we hook into the lattice mouseovers? Add a next review date?
Can we change the fields on the main Dashboard that shows how many reviews are due in the next hour and the next day?
I would like:
