HanziGraph

This site is a prototype, but it's decently usable in its current state. Feel free to see the (currently at a hackathon level of quality) code or contact the author on github.

The idea is to emphasize the word-forming connections among hanzi to help learners remember them. I've found this more fun and effective than other methods, like studying stroke order, learning radicals or components, writing each character out 100 times, or doing spaced repetition on cards mapping hanzi to pinyin and English.

Is there an app?
- The site is a progressive web app. This means it uses modern browser APIs to make an installable app. Follow the directions for your platform to install it. A truly native app downloadable from the app stores may be a future work item.
Where did the examples come from?
- The examples came from Tatoeba, which releases data under CC-BY 2.0 FR, and from OpenSubtitles, pulled from opus.nlpl.eu.
- Definitions and pinyin transcriptions of individual words were pulled from CEDICT, which releases data under CC BY-SA 4.0. Accordingly, some of the files in data should be considered released under that same license.
Which characters are present in the graph?
- That depends on which graph you choose. For either the old or new HSK exam, all of the HSK 1-6 characters should be present, and most have examples. When viewing the top 10k words, all hanzi used in those words should be present. Ping on github with any issues. More examples and definitions will be added in the future.

How does study mode work?
- When you add words to your study list, they will be presented to you as flashcards. You'll be shown the sentence and asked what it means; click "Show Answer" to see how tatoeba translated it. When you click "I didn't know that", the card will be added back to the end of your to-study list. When you click "I knew that!", it will be shown one day later, then two days if you get it right again, then four, and so on. It is meant to be a very, very basic spaced repetition system.
What does the export button do?
- The export button downloads a file that can be imported into a different (better) spaced repetition system, like Anki.
Where are the flashcards stored?
- When you are not signed in: all data for the site is stored in localStorage. It does not leave your browser, and clearing your browser data will clear it.
- When you are signed in: the data is stored on our backend, and should be present and up-to-date on any device. If you add flashcards while signed out, then sign in or register later, the two lists will be merged, so you shouldn't lose anything.
