kyoubenkyou（今日勉強）
2022
I started working on kyoubenkyou originally in 2022 because I wanted to replace my Anki kanji deck with my own tool tailored to how I like to study. In 2024, I revisited the app and rewrote it on Phoenix (Elixir).
The name is 今日勉強, where 今日 (kyou) means “today”, and 勉強 (benkyou) means “study”. I really liked that it’s a kind of syllabic palindrome.
To start, I figured that I could write some smaller tools that would be useful for studying Japanese in general, and keep adding new tools until I have a compelling suite of study tools.
