Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built nazoru because I kept encountering kanji I couldn't read — even after years of studying Japanese. There are thousands of 難読漢字 (hard-to-read kanji) that even native speakers struggle with, but no focused tool to learn them.
nazoru lets you:
- Take randomized quizzes on hard-to-read kanji and proverbs
- Look up readings with difficulty ratings (難読 / 超難読)
- Explore 5,000+ entries across categories like place names, nature, and food
No account needed — just open and start learning. Built with React + Supabase, deployed on Vercel.
Would love to hear from Japanese learners and language enthusiasts. Any feedback is welcome!
