  • 17 June 2024Brainstorming a new dialog to navigate the Study pages

    I'm sharing a very first draft mockup for what could be a new dialog, improving the navigation between Study pages.

    Check out the thread over at github. I am brainstorming mostly at the design stage. I'm going with the idea I've had for a long time of having a grid of kanji, a visual sense of where I'm at when I want to move between Study pages.

    The second goal would be to also work as a Restudy List - where the sidebar doesn't give us enough room to play with especially on mobile.

    With your feedback I'll iterate on the design.

  • 15 June 2024Small fix to the Spaced Repetition bar chart

    A small fix deployed today to address an error in how the SRS bar chart displays flashcard counts when it is "compacted" in portrait mode (typically viewing on a smartphone).

    When viewing the SRS chart in portrait mode on a small display, the total number of displayed boxes has to be reduced. To avoid scrolling sideways, the due/undue totals for box 8,9,10, etc. are added up into the last displayed box labelled "7+".

    There was a bug here that would cause an incorrect due/undue count to be displayed, along with "flattening" the rest of the chart since the last pile was artificially higher. This bug had no effect on flashcards or reviews, just the way the bar chart is displayed.

    Thanks to KanjiKalvin for reporting issue 329 on Github!
