Principles
From the roots
Nothing is taught before its parts. A character is learned from its radicals, a word from its characters, a sentence from its words.
Meet the learner where they are
The app keeps a model of what you know at every level of detail, and plans each day against it, not against a fixed syllabus position.
Accessible
Five dollars a month now, and the price should fall as membership grows. Interfaces in more languages and a serious accessibility pass are on the roadmap: planned honestly, not shipped yet.
Your order
Goals are yours to set: a pace, a band, a reading, a group of words. The app plans; it does not dictate.
The interface teaches
Every Chinese character on screen can explain itself, down to the buttons and the tree on the front page.
