    I'm making an open-source platform for learning Japanese2025 · kanadojo.com · ▲288

    The idea is actually quite simple. As a Japanese learner and a coder, I've always wanted there to be an open-source, 100% free for learning Japanese, similar to Monkeytype in the typing community. Unfortunately, pretty much all language learning apps are closed-sourced and paid these days, and the ones that are free have unfortunately been abandoned.

Nothing new in that regard, except that it has been made with only Korean in mind and does not plan to extends to other languages.
