Field notes
The page describes a mastery grid that changes kana from faint outlines to black as learners progress, with a four-step bar and markers for due or repeatedly missed characters. It says reviews use FSRS and that stroke order comes from KanjiVG; reading practice is described as 1,500 curated words with audio. The app is listed as coming soon for iPhone and iPad, with Android also marked as coming soon.
