Hi Product Hunt, I built Pinyin Knowledge Ball to put relationships that are usually split across pinyin charts and vocabulary lists onto one screen. Type something like ma. The page opens into tone-marked syllables, common characters, useful words, examples, and audio. I also added comparison lessons for pairs such as an/ang and zhi/zi. It's free, no account required, and progress stays in your browser. The lesson library is still growing. I'd love to know whether the map feels clearer than a normal pinyin table, and which sound comparison you'd want next.

I moved Pinyin Knowledge Ball to its canonical domain after launch:

The clearest demo is still the ma lesson: type "ma" and open the four tone paths into characters, words, examples, and audio. I also added comparison pages for pairs like an/ang and zhi/zi.

If you tried it during launch week, I’d especially like feedback on one thing: does the visual map make tones easier to remember than a normal pinyin table?
