Tooltips for character tiles

Hey, this is just a small quality of life suggestion that other HanziHeroes might appreciate as well.

After every review, we get a helpful overview of SRS Demotions and Promotions, and I often find myself doing a quick pass over the demotions to reinforce them. Right now I have to click each character tile to visit the characters’ individual detail pages to see their pronunciation and meaning. This works, but navigating away for every character or opening a new tab feels excessive when I just want a quick reminder of the meaning and pronunciation.

Would it be possible to add a mouse-hover tooltip that shows you just the pronunciation and the first (two/three?) meanings? That way, we can quickly review a set of characters after every review without having to navigate away for each of them.

This suggestion is specifically about the review results screen, but the hanzi tiles on the dashboard might benefit from this too.

That’s a great idea! I’ll file an item in our backlog for this.

Another idea we have in a similar vein is showing that a tooltip when hovering over the highlights within the mnemonic as well. I think we can probably use the same tooltip for both. :+1:

This is now implemented, both on the mnemonics and the small icons :slight_smile:
Let me know if you run into any issues!

yes! yes! yes!

There is an addon like that for wakikani and I’m so glad it got implemented here.

It really speed up doing extra study.
I look at a character, say to myself what it mean and the pronunciation then mouseover to check it.
