Custom definitions for kanji
complete
BlueRaja
Any plans on letting users add their own definitions for kanji? Or re-arranging the order of definitions?
I thought it would be a good idea to learn kanji alongside new vocabulary, so I mostly use Custom Reviews for new kanji.
For example, I recently learned 改札 (kaisatsu, or "ticket gate")
Issue is, the definitions for 改 don't have kaisatsu, and 札 has kaisatsu as the 2nd definition.

Please consider an option for showing the primary meaning(s) instead of word hints

Thank you for such a useful and well-done app! One suggestion, if I may:
For example, 時 shows “occasion” as the hint, I draw the kanji, and then way at the bottom it shows “time”
What’s happening, for me, is I’m learning the “hint word” as the meaning of the kanji, which probably isn’t right 😅. Plus having the meanings only show afterward and at the bottom means I often miss them.

Is it possible to see just Kanji definitions?

I posted this as an idea, but I realized it might already exist and I just don’t know how to enable it.
Is it possible to see kanji definitions at the top instead of random words that use that kanji?
For example, 天 has the kanji meaning of “heaven; sky; imperial” which is super helpful. However, I only see that after getting it right or wrong. Beforehand, I only see stuff like “weather” and “Emperor of Japan” which is meaningless to me.
For more context, I use the WaniKani integration so I learn the meaning, reading, etc, through them. I’m on this app exclusively to learn how to write the kanji so random vocab and hiding the kanji meaning is a massive hindrance.
There are a ton of settings so it’s very possible this exists and I just missed it!

I love this app, but it’s really difficult to remember which kanji I’m being asked for when I’m given a list of random words. It would be infinitely more helpful if I was able to see the kanji definitions given after you submit answer.
For example, 天 gives the words “weather” and “Emperor of Japan” for the prompt to write the kanji which isn’t really helpful. You don’t get to see “heaven; sky; imperial” until
after
getting it right or wrong.Could there be an option to show those kanji definitions at the top instead of the words? I’m using this app exclusively to learn kanji, not vocab.

Adding a space for inputting your own mnemonics (or copying and pasting from, for example, wanikani).

updated the status to
complete
Completed in v26. You can now be prompted for the definition of the kanji instead of (or in addition to) the words, and the definition can be customized.

Definition at top

Is there a way to have the definition shown at the top as a prompt before writing the Kanji instead of sample words with compound Kanji or conjugations?
I want to learn the primary definition before learning other ways the Kanji can be paired and used.

To me this is the most needed feature. To use RTK correctly.
