When I’m studying my radicals and kanji it’s fun to see my progression on the dashboard. But there is nothing like that for vocabulary and I cannot understand why. As I wrote this I see “Your topic is similar to…” and someone brought this up over five years ago! The absence of this relatively simple…

It’s probably that they envisioned the bars as being for the practical purpose of tracking unlocking things, and vocab items don’t unlock things. The progress bar for kanji displays how far you are from advancing to the next level. They don’t track all the kanji in a level, just the number needed t…

Thank you. I’ve seen how the scripts offer a lot of interesting tools and so forth. I tried to get them going a couple of months ago but wasn’t successful.

Aha, I wondered. Knowing me if I found a passing lane I’d use it with the good intentions of returning to the vocabulary later, and then simply wouldn’t do it. :slight_smile:

I’m the OP of the thread linked. I’d be happy to answer your questions if you wanted to try to set this script up on your dashboard. There are plenty of informational scripts like this that make your dashboard more stat-filled without affecting your WK progression… :wink:
