Field notes
The homepage describes hints fading as a word strengthens and a missed review sending it back a stage. Its sample material includes the character 馬 and a short account of how it became simplified 马; the page labels the ancient forms as simplified sketches for illustration. The maker says his first testers were his own three children, and describes the project as an attempt to replace last-minute cramming with practice children can do themselves.
