Japanese.io appreciation post

This is not a sponsor. I am not affiliated with the team in any way.

I discovered Japanese.io a few days ago and it is blowing my mind. I love how I can star a word and it will highlight the next time I encounter it (natural repetition!). The read aloud and translate are great features too. I have already learned so many words and grammar points in context from the short stories I am importing, and it’s so cool to know that I will see them again and again.

I’m positing this because I was looking for something similar for a long time. Satori reader is great, but I wasn’t able to import content I wanted to read. LingQ was buggy and the furigana was often wrong. Oyomi reader (IOS) is great but there is no star or highlight system similar to Japanese IO.

Cons / Improvements:
-I think the voice playback system interface could be improved
-The SRS system does not show the word in the context which it was starred
-No real progression tracking or summary stats for read words or lookups.

Overall highly recommend and excited to see how they develop the program.
