Learn 20,000+ Japanese words with a spaced-repetition system built for long-term memory. Playful, gamified sessions under 5 minutes a day — no boring textbooks. Mainichi skips the flashcard grind. Short, low-pressure sessions that fit into a real day — show up, relax into a round of vocab, and let your streak do the rest. Clean cards. Fast sessions. A progress bar that actually fills up. The interface gets out of the way so you can focus on the words.

Why did you decide on Japanese? BTW, love the idea, actually anything with the learning potential has my upvote! :D

@busmark_w_nika I've been learning Japanese for 2+ years now and as I was growing my grammar knowledge more, I've realized that I still lack the real vocabulary needed for day-to-day conversations. Other apps that I've used didn't give me enough to be able to really grow my vocabulary skillset - so I've decided I can build one as I believe that having enough vocabulary knowledge is the most essential aspect in any language learning path :)

@xpaczka so are you planning to visit Japan?
Mainichi
@busmark_w_nika I've already been to Japan two years ago and I'm also going this year in September :)

@xpaczka aaa cool, that country is on my list too :)
Love the idea an the implementation!
Probably main page lacks some examples from the app before sending user to store.

@mifiko Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely try to include some for in-app insights :)
@Michał Paczyński makes sense, a geography wrapper is already a nice hook to make vocab feel less like a flat list. if you do go down the dialect road eventually, Osaka/Kansai-ben would probably be the most requested since it shows up so much in casual media, might be worth prioritizing over the smaller regional ones.

@omri_ben_shoham1 This is a nice idea, that I will definitely give some exploration time. Thanks!
The cards feel really clean and the sessions are short enough that I'm not dreading opening the app, which is half the battle honestly.

@oktaykurung9z0 I'm really glad you enjoy it!
I like the focus on consistency over intensity. Five-minute sessions with spaced repetition are much more realistic for long-term language learning than trying to cram for an hour every few days.

@varun1jan Agreed! I feel like learning language this way feels more like a fun activity, rather than an obligation
Love that you tied vocabulary progress to Japan's prefectures, since anchoring words to real places gives the learning a sense of journey that plain flashcards never manage.

@ilko_kacharov I'm really glad you are enjoying the convention, I really appreciate it!

I liked the concept and think you will be very successful if you can attract the right users, as a total beginner, i tried it and felt it was just too hard to start.

@dfect Very helpful insight, thank you. What was the main pain point for you? Is there something that would make your start easier?
