traversing the word graph, with links corresponding to characters that are shared between words (blue is when the reading is also the same, red is when it isn't)

all of this used to be implemented in "userspace" in about 1kloc of rust in a previous version—turns out you can do it with less than 150 lines of sql, which also happens to be several times faster

rather pleased with how the furigana annotator has turned out
it's not in the screenshot, but this also tracks what rule/heuristic was used to match the dictionary ("underlying") reading to the word (e.g. かた -> がたvia rendaku, オー -> おう is "LongVowelMark", and so on)

a long but otherwise straightforward query gives me the verbs most frequently used in a book (or across a library)
this will be more interesting once i've hooked up the spaced repetition to this again and filtered out everything that isn't already marked as known

serde is excellent as long as you can express exactly what you like with some combination of attributes on/in the definition of your type (which is most of the time) but the moment you go beyond that and have to write an impl by hand the ergonomics of it seems to fall off a cliff

there are multiple causes for this, many of which are not obvious to me (and some i'm sure can be avoided but in a way that i don't see)
not the least of which is that extracting small pieces of a program out into functions is something of a chore, when it is possible at all
