Dear Speedanki users,

I have implemented the long awaited randomization feature for the site. You can switch to a randomized view using the “view by” combobox; selecting the randomized kanji or randomized hiragana option. I have implemented this feature using random permutations, so the cards remain in the same order and you won’t miss any of them. The cards can be re-shuffled by pressing the Shuffle! button or navigating to a different folder.

Dear Speedanki users,

My name is Péter Kasza and I’m jointly working on developing the site with Vili. As the first post to the blog states, there have been a few modifications to the site, mainly fixing bugs and improving security.

I am working in my free time on improving the site, so sometimes new features may take a while. I’ll try to implement the easy-to-do ones first so that you don’t have to wait months for something new.

The first visible change I have made concerns the list view. I have added buttons for toggling the kanji and hiragana for each entry. This way you can quickly skim through a large number of cards and ‘flip’ only the ones you didn’t recognize. I personally use it for practicing writing kanji.

Current plans for the site include:

• randomization of the cards
• keyboard navigation
• personal comments for each card
• editable example text
• displaying stroke order
• kanji to hiragana transcription based on the learned cards

Please feel free to contact us with your ideas on improving the site.

Thank you all for using speedanki!
