3 weeks ago I posted the Moka app here. Here's what changed thanks to your feedback
Thank you to everyone who tried it, left comments, and even reached out to help directly over the last weeks!
Special thanks to u/Worldly-Fig-3904 u/slippery-lil-sucker u/VirinaB u/Maps379 u/Specialist_Play1143 u/FrxstMC u/Shanayaaa
So what happened in 3 weeks following this post https://www.reddit.com/r/duolingojapanese/comments/1sansf3/i_built_a_kanji_app_with_illustrated_mnemonics/ ?
- 982 kanji now live (was 625). The entire N2 level was added, so the app now covers N5, N4, N3 and N2!
- 2946 compound words with a dedicated section where you can review vocab grouped by kanji, and practice by typing or speaking the reading.
- A journey map that takes you from Tokyo to Hiroshima across 29 real Japanese cities -> 5 kanji per bundle, 7 bundles per city, and you pick your own daily pace (1,2 or 3 bundles per day)
- Skip button if you already know a kanji ('Already know this one? skip') so you don't waste time on it
- A reworked trial where you can try 5 real kanji from N5 to N2 (金, 歌, 薬, 状, 照) with exercises, speech practice and a kanji rain finale before signing up
- Image and mnemonic quality improvements across the board
Next update coming (whenever possible): a calligraphy section (no commitment on N1 so far)
I'm going to slow down on building and focus on spreading the word for a bit, especially in Brazil and French speaking communities.
If you tried it and liked the approach, please share it with anyone you think might be interested.
And as always, constructive feedback is welcome! what works, what doesn't, what made you stop, what is annoying etc, feel free to reach out here or through the app!
