This is still a work in progress, and I would love for other people to contribute to grow this project.
I think given some more attention, this could turn into a valuable asset for language learning of many different languages (could easily be modified for Japanese) - as I personally find it slightly more entertaining than standard flashcards. And if you are anything like me, learning something is more about staying interested and motivated than it is anything else.

While it isn’t anything super special, I do think it is more effective (at least for me) than simply using Anki flashcards, as it keeps me slightly more entertained and interested - but I think the project could definitely be gamified a bit more. The primary goal of this project is to eventually create something that actually keeps the user interested in drilling through vocabulary.
Disclaimer: The project is mostly just a couple files, and was put together with AI, not using any type of framework or anything. If the project gets future collaborators, we would likely need to refactor the project to be more workable.
Oh, I haven’t heard of it - but I’ll look into it and that sounds like it might be a nice option moving forward with the project! Hopefully I’ll eventually find some more experienced developers to help out with the project and beef it up. There are so many “gamified” language learning apps - but it would be nice to have one that is the right balance of a. actually being fun and engaging and b. actually drilling the words enough to learn them.
I always have a hard time sticking with things, so the hope is to make something that people actually want to use - whether this project gets there or not - well have to see…but this minute quest idea sounds promising. Thanks for the feedback!
