New Beta Feature: Decks Redesign (August 18th, 2026)

Beautiful students of Bunpro

We have another site update to announce!

We’ll be sharing a few changes we’ve made to the Deck pages.
Some you may already be aware of (the new Deck Index), some are new.

:flower_playing_cards: Deck Details page Beta :eye:

The old crusty individual Deck page has been replaced with a slicker experience.
The load speed has been increased dramatically, and has been given similar upgrades to what the Grammar Library got a few months ago.

Upgrades are as follows:

:ballot_box_with_check: Selecting Items

Clicking on the Select Items button now lets you, well, select items.

Whether this be whole units, or individual items within units, you now have the usual floating action-bar at the bottom of the page where you can do the following actions:

  1. Add to Reviews
  2. Mark as Mastered
  3. Remove from Reviews
  4. Reset Progress
  5. Set SRS Level
  6. Set Review Type
  7. Knowledge Check [ NEW! Details below ]
  8. Cram
  9. Add to a Deck
  10. Learn

That’s right! It’s been a long time coming, but now you can have finer-grain control over the progress of your Decks.

:coffee: Filtering

As the name suggests, show and hide Deck contents based on a selection of Filters!

This also works in tandem with the Search feature, so you can really get down to the nitty gritty details when finding something.

:world_map: Access:

All users that have Beta Mode turned On should already be part of the Beta, otherwise:
You can access the Beta through your Account Settings.

This will start redirecting you to the new page instead of the old one.

If you just want to check the new pages out without fully committing to the Beta, follow these instructions:

Instructions

You can add /beta before the Deck’s URL to see it manually.

E.g.

.../decks/nn10ai/bunpro-n5-grammar

now becomes:

.../beta/decks/nn10ai/bunpro-n5-grammar

:brain: Knowledge Check :white_check_mark:

We have renamed the “Vocab Coverage” feature from Grammar that we announced a few months ago into “Knowledge Check”.

This now closer represents what it is used for – checking your knowledge and filling in gaps in your Bunpro progress, quickly.

This ties into the Deck update, as you can now run this check over your existing Decks, using the Select Items button + action-bar.

We hope you like it!

:clipboard: New Deck Index :books:

We actually had a silent Beta for this and released it a few months ago, so many of you may have already seen this.

It did not however have an official forum post about it, so here we are.
I’ll go over a few of the changes here:

“Details” popout

Get all the pertinent info about the Deck with a single click. The new popout includes JLPT composition and a better Progress breakdown.

popout

New “Explore” page

The page is accessible here, or by clicking the Explore tab from the My Decks page.

It includes:

  • Search
    • A new feature that allows you to type in keywords or titles and find all Decks that fit that query
  • “Browse by Type”
    • A quick grid to see all the different categories of Deck, and the Official / Community Decks within them
  • Filters + Sorting
    • When using the Search feature, you will also be able to filter by Deck Type and also by creator (Official vs. Community)
    • At the top right of the page, you can also sort by Most Popular or Newest

Featured Deck section

A little Community-made Deck showcase for our users that bless us with their curated creations. We plan to rotate this regularly.
Message us if you have a Deck you think would benefit learners, and fits the spotlight well.

:construction: IN PROGRESS :hammer_and_wrench:

Next we will be working on the Edit page for Decks.

With the project, we’ll be trying to improve the overall experience and smoothness of creating custom Decks.

If you are a Deck builder or have tried to create a Deck in the past, we would love to hear about any features or quality-of-life improvements you would like to see during Deck editing.
Please leave a comment below!

:carrot: That’s all folks

Anyway, that was a long one.
The TLDR is that using Decks has gotten a lot better, so if you had a frustrating experience with Decks in the past, we urge you to check out the new pages and sign up for the Beta.

As always, let us know your thoughts, opinions, praise and everything else below.

We read all comments.

Happy studying,

I am currently creating a deck for a game, and there are alot of arbitrary words whose readings and meanings are not featured in ordinary dictionaries and sometimes are only found in the internet like a fan-made wiki of the game for words like 寄香, 黒澤逢世, aswell as the name of places or characters are also sometimes difficult.

For this matter, my question :

Will there be an option added to create ones own arbitrary vocab list, or and option to make an index?

I like that you can order the vocabs neatly in colums, but you can just add items from the dictionary, which is limiting.

Hi there! Thanks for the suggestion.

This has been requested before, for usage similar to what you mentioned with adding fantasy words.

Unfortunately currently we don’t have solid plans to introduce a system for adding user Vocab.

Very happy to see this considering I just asked for it a few days ago in the suggestions thread! Only suggestion would be to rename the “New to you” filter to “Not Learned” to be consistent with that app. (I also totally missed the New to you filter initially since it was mixed in with Progress and was going to write feedback requesting it be added, but then I went back and looked through the filters more carefully and found it).

Otherwise, lovely update. Thank you again to the Bunpro team for all your hard work! :tada:

Amaaaazing, I’ve been waiting for an update like this. I just realized that I can’t bookmark decks anymore. It shows the bookmarked sign but after reloading the page it is gone again.

Also it would be great if we could not only filter for N5-N1 but also vocab categorized as ‘other’.

honestly just the search feature for mass import, everything else is amazing.

I think there’s a lot that can be done with weighted matching in that regard, where an unclassified or E vocab shouldn’t get priority over equivalent words. Some of the most popular community decks essentially have no QA done whatsoever and contain things such as ラーメン | Bunpro when in reality they mean 拉麺 | Bunpro because it’s a higher-prio candidate when mass-importing. But there’s a ton such examples, and I mostly put it on how the search engine on mass-import selects the best fitting candidate.

Honestly a great update.

Personally I’d like to see the “filters” section swapped with the “details” section on the deck details page. I’d argue the filters will be more useful on that page than the summary - browsing to that page from the home page gives users 2 separate chances (3 if you count the N_ summary on the home page) to see a progress summary before even arriving on that page - if that was what they were looking for.

I’ve definitely gone to the deck details page for a “Dang it, I just saw this grammar point in my deck the other day, where is it…” and a filter would have saved me 10ish minutes, so this is a welcome update.

I’ve never gone to the deck details page to figure out what percentage I’ve completed.

But I’m definitely nitpicking here.

Thank you as always!

I just checked and the bookmark seems to be working as expected.
Is this happening with an specific Deck or is it consistent through many Decks?

Great suggestion on the filters. We’ll add the option for ‘other’.

I prefer to add new items through the deck page and not the learn queue so that I can choose to add words I feel are a bit familiar rather than completely new.

On the old version, clicking into an item and then adding it would count towards your daily learn goal (but not adding it from the deck for some reason). I’d love if this feature can be added to the new version as it makes it really easy for me to keep track of my daily goals despite my maybe weird workflow.

I can kinda work around this right now by going into the page and then putting this ?deck_id=26 at the end of the url for the item before adding it

Thanks for the consistent updates! I love how this platform is always improving

Amazing update!
I was currently creating a deck and it’d so cool to be able to see the jlpt level of the words with the circle graphics!
Still humbly asking for a sorting option from Jlpt 5 to 1 then a1 to a 20 then e in addition of the netflix, roman and other filters. :bowing_man:

Tried again today, seema to work now. Maybe it was an issue with my internet connection? I tried to bookmark various decks 4 times yesterday. I’ll try again and update you in case it occurs again, thanks!

Some more ideas from my side:

  1. Would it be possible to hide decks that are completely irrelevant for me? I love to look through new community decks but a lot of them e.g. decks for specific textbooks will never be relevant for me. So I always have to look through those
  2. It would be cool to be able to sort by completion? Or filter out completed decks, so you don’t always have to go through them when searching for new decks ( not that I am anywhere close to completing any deck hahah)

Do I have to toggle a deck as ‘learning’ in order to see the current reviews for that deck? :thinking: On the app I can see if a deck has reviews without going into it

maybe it’s only for my use case only, but it would be great to see current review type next to given vocab/grammar in deck view
and also some sort of sorting? (for example default / alphabetically / card level / JLPT level)
I’m regulary changing review type from Cloze (Manual) to Reading when they reach Adept 2, so it would really help to be able to easily find them for multi update

EDIT: oh, but I forgot to say - I really like this update, thank you so much for your hard work ^^

Thanks for pointing that. It should work the same way as the old version.
I’m working on a fix and it will be updated soon.

You mean in the list of Decks (My Decks/Explore), right?
We don’t show the Details popout in phones due to the screen space limitations.

From the Deck page, it’s right after the description. You need to tap it to expand.
