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.

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!
