Real Japanese slang, one giant word at a time

Textbooks teach Japanese that stops at the classroom door. YABAI is the other half: 308 real slang, internet and fandom words, each on a card built around giant Japanese typography. Every word has a meaning, a real example, a vibe check (safe to use? friends only? careful?) and a story β and when the origin is uncertain, it says so instead of inventing one. Built end to end with AI agents in Claude Code. 13 languages, works offline. No streaks, no tests, no XP.

minimalist phone: reduce your screentime
Are you planning iOS version too? :)

@busmark_w_nikaΒ Not yet β Android only for now. The iOS side is set up in the codebase but I haven't shipped it. If there's interest here I'll prioritise it.

308 words is a pretty specific number, curious how you picked the cutoff there. is that meant to be a complete "you can follow along with native content now" set, or is it deliberately a starter pack with more packs planned later

@galdayanΒ Honest answer: 308 isn't a cutoff I chose β it's what survived the rule. Every candidate had to be either in current use or evergreen: no dead slang, no words that only exist inside one show. Plenty got rejected on the way (KY, γΉγγγ£, ζι«γγβ¦). The number is just where the list stood when I shipped.
It's definitely not a "you can follow native content now" set β no list of 308 words could be, and YABAI isn't a course. It's the layer textbooks skip: the words that carry a group chat. And it's not a pack model either. New words go into the app itself with updates, under the same rule β two of the current 308 (γγͺγγ, γγγ¬γ) came from tester suggestions, so the list already grows that way.
