Example words are now displayed below the kanji in portrait view on phone-like devices. It should look like this. Let me know in that github issue or contact page if there are any issues, be sure to mention with device you use or even better, send me a screenshot!

Currently I am busy refactoring things to modern Javascript. This will make it much easier to enhance the website as well as fix some issues which are otherwise a headache to solve by maintaing the old code. Keep in mind I started this website more than 11 years ago! As of today's update flashcards are now rendered with VueJs, as well as the Dictionary List. If you are a developer you can clone the open source repository and experiment with the Vue components.

I am thinking I should update to the last JMDICT version as well. It's been a while it hasn't been updated. Since I fixed a bunch of scripts I used to parse JMDICT, back in August.. I should be able to do this soon.

Last week I refactored a bunch of code related to the Dictionary List as well as the Flashcard layout. They are now rendered as VueJs components. This will allow to make further enhancements which was not possible with the old code.

Functionally, nothing should change yet. However I'd like to make sure I have not introduced new issues, particularly on mobile. Please read this post if you think you can help testing. All you need to do is just log in the development build (called "staging") and use it just as you use this site. Same account, same database. Then let me know what device you used, and if you found any issues or if it works 100% identically.

Improving the results of the Dictionary feature
At the moment the listing is very basic. It has a builtin criteria in that it filters out non-common entries. Specifically it currently includes "ichi1", "news1', "spec1" "gai1" (approx. 16000 words).

To provide better and more useful results, it needs to be sorted according to some logic. For example simple verbs using a single kanji could be shown first. Please share any good suggestions you have in Github issue #122.

Today's Update
The website was updated with a refactor of the Dictionary listings to VueJs ( Github issue #121 ). If it doesn't behave exactly as before, or it's broken please let me know!

I am now refactoring the kanji flashcard itself to a Vue component ( Github issue #38 ). Once this is done we can start doing some fancy things like adding a word from the Dictionary results to the flashcard, potentially allowing users to customize the kanji cards with any examples they find useful. I'm still brainstorming this one.
