Field notes
The page describes separate tracks for each language, each with its own reviews, texts and streak. It says FSRS schedules reviews, while a default of 10 new words per day can be changed; up to half of that day's new words may come from the reader's own selections. For Japanese, the listed resources include furigana, kanji breakdown and a timed kana-matching drill.
