I am working on Kanjimi, a browser extension for people learning Japanese.

My goal is to help people to read any Japanese website by adding information about the vocabuary words (pronunciation, meaning).

But at the same time I want this to be highly customizable and easy to use, because helping too much or systematically does not actually help to learn. So this has to be just right for everyone to be truly useful.

It is not released yet, but I made a mini-website and have a Twitter account for this project if anyone is interested:

Not quite a quarantine side project as I started in December, but i've been studying japanese as my side project. I've been able to take advantage of saving 45 min a day on my commute and putting that into study time.

I'll have to check out your site!
