I am building a free Japanese learning website at https://日本語.app https://xn--wgv71a119e.app . It serves as a creative medium to improve my design and development skills, as well as my Japanese.
My vision for the project is to give learners the basic foundation of vocabulary, kanji, and grammar and to expose them as early as possible to native content (something that I wish I did sooner). For that reason, I utilize various media such as tweets and YouTube videos to make the content more natural (i.e. not textbookish), relevant, and engaging.
The project is still far from completion. A few days ago, I shared the early version of kanji module (https://日本語.app/漢字 https://xn--wgv71a119e.app/漢字) to a reddit community. If you are interested in the details, please check the post below:

Technology-wise, I am building the website with Next.js and wrote all sort of scripts such as asset generation, dictionary, and parser in Go. Aside from no support for utf-8 route in Next.js (I had to hack few things to make it work), the development has been smooth and pleasant.
