Hi HN, I’m building Hanzi Stroke (https://www.hanzistroke.com) to solve a very specific problem: learning to write Chinese characters is unintuitive for non-native learners. Most learners rely on rote memorization, which is inefficient and often leads to incorrect stroke habits. While there are dictionary apps that show static stroke order diagrams, they lack interactivity. The key to muscle memory is deliberate practice with immediate feedback. So, I made a single-page application that provides: Dynamic stroke order animations for over 9,000 characters. Interactive canvas practice…

Hi HN! In trying to improve my Chinese skills, I built this tool that lets me write a mix of Chinese and English, then recommends a proper Chinese expression. This is super helpful when I want to write something in Chinese but I don't know all the vocab/grammar - I can enter my best effort and use English for the parts I don't know. Really, the fundamental benefit of the tool is that it encourages me to exercise the writing muscle, rather than defaulting to translating from English.

I'm a long time lurker that recently quit my job to work on my own projects, a lot due to the inspiration from Hacker News. Now I have published my first serious project, an app for learning how to write Japanese characters. It's the app I always wanted but couldn't find when I was studying. It tries to be simple to use, you just start the quiz and go with the flow. There's no need to plan and manage your studies, and it uses spaced repetition for better retention. There's a promo page with more details up at http://www.kanjibyhand.com. It's only for Android so far. The free version includes…
