Lots of us put
weeks/months into our projects. As somebody who's definitely had their fair share of "Show HN"s be swallowed into the murky depths, take the "L" and just give it a few weeks before reposting again.
Now onto some feedback:
**** What I like ****
The article is well-written and I really appreciate the candid nature of the journey to see this project through to the finish line.
**** What I don't like ****
There's literally dozens of JLPT flashcard sets (online and physical).
It's a bit hard for me to understand the point of the physical card aspect of this kickstarter. It pushes SRS/Leitner/etc - but I can't even fathom anyone trying to organize and set this up with physical cards.
The "no silly mnemonics" feels like a solution in search of a problem. Most of the flashcards that I've used for Chinese and Japanese had no such thing on them.
**** Questions ****
Did you work with a native Japanese speaker to vet your cards?
How can I rely on your expertise as a non-native speaker? Did you major in Japanese? What level of the JLPT have you passed?
I see no mention of 部首, are you incorporating radicals into the learning process?
**** Constructive ****
If it were a work of art, such that I could display the cards decoratively then I think I might be more inclined to invest. For example, if you'd gotten a Japanese calligrapher to do the kanji.
