Could you explain how AGI is a best case? Last time I checked, "if anyone builds it everyone dies".

Oh, is this the joke?

rook_line_sinkron Show HN: A simple web app to memorise Hiragana

Minor bug: If I select most of the non-dakuten, non-handakuten, non-combined letter categories and select only matchups, it generates an enormous number of test pages.

I'm some 240 pages in, and the progress bar seems to have stopped moving at about 20%.

I don't really mind training "forever", but I guess motivation is higher with regular status reports.

If you could link to the source code, please? Then I may have a look at the code soon, and I'll make it a proper bug report and maybe submit a PR.

Thanks again! Makes my 2h train ride right now quite a bit more enjoyable :)

Thank you, I really needed this, I have been postponing doing a refresher for some time.

If I could make a feature request: It would be awesome if there were a "no hearing" mode where the listening exercises can be switched off.

For accessibility reasons, and for when I'm on a train and forgot my headphones, or (purely hypothetical ;) ) at a social event where I just want to do something else while still appearing present ':D
