Hey everyone. We've been quietly building something for a while now. It started because we were learning Japanese and couldn't find anything that taught kanji in a way that clicked for us.
Today we're opening it up. This is Kanjimori.

This is cool! But this isn’t a “Pokémon game” any more than those “I made League of Legends in a day” videos are League of Legends.
This is at best the first 5%. Pretending otherwise feels disingenuous and makes it harder to appreciate the genuine strengths of these products.

8,000 lines of code. All 151 Gen-1 Pokémon. One shot.

Titles are our first reward type for @thekanjimori. You unlock them like achievements.
We’re a learning app, so what are the right things to reward? Commitment? Accuracy? Overcoming adversity? Doing something rare?
Let us know.

When I’m making something, there’s usually a moment where it feels real, not just like I’m checking it for bugs.
For @thekanjimori, that’s been the past week or so. Come check it out for free: thekanjimori.com

Recently I've been having fun creating some programmatic visual assets for celebrations and now premium gift codes.
Kanjimori is mostly vanilla Javascript and CSS on the frontend, so figuring out how to make these is rewarding, pun intended.

Come try out Kanjimori right now. It's free for five levels, and all you need is basic knowledge of hiragana and katakana to begin.

Hey UX and game design homies—if you know me directly or we're connected through a mutual and you might be open to contract work on some interesting projects, let's chat.
On the UX side: strong game and/or product UX background, Figma expertise, Unreal/multiplatform experience is a plus.
On the game design side: systems design primarily, goals-driven approach, multiplatform is a plus.
Could potentially be full- or part-time contract work depending on fit. Senior ideally, shoot me a DM!

Another cool thing you start to see when you map these big kanji family trees: forms.
A lot of kanji can take on different shapes when they are used as components. Take 人 (person) for example.
When it's used as a component it can become: 亻・ 儿・𠆢・勹 2/4

If instead you look at the family tree, you can analyze and look for patterns, like if you think the person component in 休 (resting), 住 (master), 信 (belief), 働 (motion) is semantic or not. 3/4

Kanji has undergone tons of mutation and transformation over many years, so there's definitely stuff that you Just Gotta Learn(tm), it becomes way less scary when you start to master the fundamentals. 4/4

I started making Kanjimori to learn Japanese faster. Many kanji apps lean heavily into mnemonics to help you memorize characters, or teach you "radicals" that are based on visual similarity alone.
These are both wrong (in my humble opinion!). 1/4

If instead you try to memorize the character as speech five mouth because that's what it looks like, you've memorized one character and gained nothing transferable.
At the core, this is the fundamental truth that we think makes Kanjimori special. 3/4
