I just started with hanzihero and so far this app is great!! Coming from WaniKani, this is a great app which matches the level of polish of WK!
Especially, I think it adapts well the entire mnemonic + SRS learning process to the Chinese language’s quirks
But I think it really lacks advertising Like when I was just starting out with Chinese, the first WK alternative that was suggested to me was Pandanese (which is not great imho)
I think with a little more publicity more people would join the developer group and create userscripts and statistics tools and etc, and HanziHero would become THE chinese learning webapp, which, in my opinion, is a title it deserves
Lastly I wanted to know whether an API is on the roadmap and if it is when are we getting it. I really want to make a wallpaper tool for hanzi progress and a mobile app, but really don’t want to spend a 1000 hours reverse engineering the http requests just to change it later anyway…
We haven’t really given thought to an API, but it sounds like an exciting idea!
Having an API sounds like something fun to do I would be curious to see what people would make. It seems like the whole Userscript thing from wanikani really bolsters community interactions, too
The hanzi wallpaper idea sounds great! And the mobile app would be amazing too are there a lot of users of the unofficial wanikani mobile apps? I wonder if these mobile apps are open source or not
I would definitely love to see what people could make out of user data w.r.t. statistics. It’s in our backlog, but other things often take priority
Unofficial apps are the lifeline for mobile WaniKani users ahahah
I don’t know about wanikani’s policy regarding the need to make apps that use their API, but it seems that most of the apps are open source!
Yeah, definitely, the contents of the main web app are way more important than the API, but it would be awesome to have an API soon (as the web app on monile works kind of janky)
Hey, is there any update to the api thing?
I would really be interested in this
I also made a user script that shows the stroke order in a gif so I can type along.
Could do much more with an api so I was wondering if you still have some thoughts about this.
Adding an API hasn’t been top of mind From what I understand Wanikani provides a JavaScript API as well as a REST API, right?
Adding stroke order at the application level would be cool though, so you wouldn’t have to maintain your own scripts.
I think the general idea is that popular add-ons that people want should probably be officially supported but I also understand it’s nice to add what you would want when it won’t be officially supported…
Some User Scripts like Anki Mode, and some other things come to mind as well. Ofc it would be nice if it’s already built in. I think these would be some fun additions to the site
