Hi Product Hunt, I’m the maker of InkSeal. I built InkSeal because Chinese characters can feel beautiful but arbitrary when you’re just starting out. Most apps ask beginners to memorize, trace, or drill. InkSeal starts with recognition: look at the character, long-press to reveal a visual mnemonic built around its strokes, then study the components, useful words, lookalikes, and spaced reviews. The app includes: - 1,799 HSK-subset characters - 5,300 featured character-word examples - 3,562 confusable character pairs - First 100 characters free - No subscription, no ads, no required account I’d love feedback from Chinese learners and language-learning app builders: does the visual reveal make characters feel easier to remember, and is anything confusing in the learning flow?
