Feedback - Suggested Improvements/Feature Request

This exists already as a script, I use it and it’s great :smiley:

It looks pretty good, but it doesn’t take ghosts into account, because the script doesn’t have access to that data. So it’d be neat if Bunpro could make that data available or if they could implement review load stats themselves. If they do implement those stats, I’d like to be able to see them on a 24h basis as well.

I suggest adding もしかして examples within もしかしたら entry or just give it a new grammar point. I hear it quite a bit and want use it in BP but can’t. Perhaps a warning message in the current point or for あるいは?

I find it funny that the stats page has said this since launch without any change to the page

Sometimes a verb is conjugated by more forms than just the one being reviewed in an example sentence.
After answering the question, showing a comprehensive list of all conjugations that have been applied to the verb in that specific example sentence could really help with the learning process.

I often get confused by volitionals being added to verbs. So seeing what exactly occurred could really help in the future.

I’d really appreciate some kind of side feature to intensively test particles - and maybe conjugations as well. It’s the kind of drill exercise that frequently pops up in conventional workbooks, but I almost never see it in app form. I know that the main SRS course includes rules on particles, but I think it doesn’t get the prominence it really needs. It’s quite easy to absorb a rule like, for instance, “はずだ denotes a strong expectation”, but it’s much harder - at least for me - to reliably and accurately intuit all the senses in which に abstractly implies a sense of direction.

Maybe it would be possible to scrape some longer texts from the internet, cloze all the particles, and then ask the user to fill them in? I’m not sure if that would have the desired effect, but in any case, I’d like to be able to focus on particles more than I currently do.

In stats, I wish the in review sessions stats I could limit the data to since last month, last week, etc

I would love being able to see when I “deghost” ghost reviews by means of some popup or animation or something. Now I mostly have some disambiguous blob of reviews without an intuitiv feeling of increasing or decreasing ghost reviews.

Same with burned items. There’s still no indication for burning and finishing items to SRS12.

Ooh yes, those wanikani popups are really motivating, emulating that would be great for understanding what level things are at. The amount of XP I get is not really helping with where the item is, and it doesn’t appear when you have already been at a certain SRS stage.

Oh, and I would love a “back” feature for reviews where I confidently put in an answer, double tap to go to the next one quickly, then see a flash of red and realise that I made a typo and it was recorded as a mistake

I love this website for intensively practising conjugations.

Thanks! That’s a helpful tool, though I think would be even better if there was an option to pose the question as a direct English translation, rather than a list of grammatical terms. When I’m groping for a word in Japanese conversation, I’m not usually asking myself “what is the polite passive causative form of 食べる” so much as “how do I say “was made to eat” in Japanese?”

Oh wow, this is incredible, how have I never come across this?? Thank you!

I also use an app which I think is called “conjugations practice” it’s very helpful and has actually made conjugating a lot easier.

That reminds me of the Imperative form which still isn’t added into BunPro. @Jake Do you have the Imperative form on your road map? I think this essential grammar is quite important.

This is more of a complex request, but the ability to add images to self-study sentences would be nice. For example, putting in a field would have that image appear when your review comes up or something like that.

Many of my grammar points are SRS 12 since quite a long time and I doubt that I can remember most of them. If I remember correctly, SRS 12 items get an interval of 99 years or such, which is ridiculous. Please let users define the interval for SRS 12 items in the settings.
SRS 12 items would then stay the same level and don’t create any XP, but they’ll be reviewed every XXX days according to the interval that users define.

Search doesn’t seem to work quite right… When I type わけ, only わけにはいかない and ないわけにはいかない show up in the results, but not わけだ or わけがない.

In order to find those, I have to type ‘reason’.

I’ve noticed this before with other queries too. It really hamstrings Bunpro’s usefulness as a grammar lookup tool for me.

Can we please get informative tooltips for settings? If I don’t know what for example focus reviews are, then I think the tooltip should tell me. Same goes for some other settings
