Public Recommendation System

Features Updates

  • The recommendation system is now public and visible without logging in.
    • When logged in, the preferred ordering should remain the same, ordered by percentage of comprehension.
    • When not logged in, it should be ordered by something, comprehension percentage is unique per user, so I had to come up with a new metric. This is where the new complexity score come in. For now, it's just the 95th percentile of the words ranked by frequency. It's definitively not perfect.
    • ⭐ Added possibility to order by stars (≈ popularity).
    • When browsing group, you now can change the view to list or grid.
    • Added filtering for stars and complexity.
    • It now shows when was the last time your personal stats were updated.
    • A new manual entry to explain some stuff.
  • New link in the stats page to see the history of the word statuses you have changed over time.

Removed

  • Removed Offline. I tried to fight for this feature for a long time, because I personally think it would have been very cool to have it. Unfortunately the complexity made it not worth.

✨ Improved Reader Experience 2

A second iteration based on the feedback received after the last update - The goal of this update was to make better trade-offs. Here is what has changed:

  • 📖 Back to Automatic Progress Tracking. You can still manually move the marker on any block, but pagination will now automatically update your progress.
    • When performing a search and jumping to a result, a banner will appear at the top of the screen, allowing you to return to where you were if desired.
    • The marker is only visible at the beginning of the reading session.
    • The "Mark this page as read" button has been removed.
    • Tooltip instead of dialog for the context menu when selecting a block.
  • The Highlight on a block is now an option (off by default).
    • With the change it was actually no longer useful but some people enjoyed it.

#124
2024-11-06
✨ Improved Reader Experience
  • 🔖 Manual Progress Tracking - I have removed the automatic progression tracking to give you complete control over your reading journey.
    • A marker now indicates where you left off.
    • You can right-click or long-press on any text section to move the marker to that spot.
  • 🔍 Added a Search. You can now search for specific words in the document.

2024-02-13
v0.7.0 Subtitles/Mining/Dictionary improvement
  • 📙 Dictionary improvement: Definitions are now grouped when possible. This update will massively reduce the number of tabs in the popup dict, not only that, but also partially solve the issue that some people were getting annoyed with the presence of stdict entries. You will now see them much less due to the grouping. 🚀
  • ⛏️ Mining improvement:
    • Re-record the audio to change the range: yup finally it is coded
    • You can now also edit the sentence manually if you wish.
  • 🔤 Subtitles improvement:
    • Smooth rounded background for subtitles, probably the most useless feature I ever coded but
    • The current active item is now highlighted in blue.
    • Stop mode: pause on each sentence now available in settings from the popup, a setting specific per video. Pause on 1T will be coded another day as this is much more complicated to get it right.
    • Hide subtitle option, the option is there, but it is probably useless because I haven't coded a shortcut for it yet. I'm unsure how I want to handle shortcut in a way I'm not mixing with youtube/netflix/any other website yet. If you got a clever idea, don't hesitate to share.
    • Adjustable height for subtitles placement - in case you need it. Many small fixes and stuff done as well. We also got a new kimchi art for /dict

  • Fix: The list of lemma per word was not filtered to be unique - now it is.

  2. One day, open anki and install the addon, the first time you'll have to configure a bit, and then you'll just have to hit the Sync button.

Stuff useful to know

  • The sync goes from kimchi to anki, not the other way around. Only add/update are sync, not delete. (This make the anki addon safe from scary bug)
  • Image and audio capture are awesome but it's not possible everywhere . Here's the compatibility table:
+-----------------------------+------+-------+-------+
|                             | Text | Image | Audio |

Up to now we had the web extension to watch on youtube and netflix but we had no way to watch from a local file on your computer. This is now possible and bonus point it works on mobile too ! You will need 2 files: a video file that your browser can read (usually .mp4) and a subtitle file (.srt)

And so I also released a few quite simple, initial rules for the feature above


#062
2023-07-09

Additionally you might now start to see some detection of grammar that span over multiple words. In this example 하루는 농부가 괭이로 밭을 갈고 있었다. we can see the definition citing the presence of pattern V+고 있다 in 갈고 있었다


#061

Released 0.3.8 - Added the support for the two word thing in one word Also changed the know pair list to have 37982 entries. A bit more lenient but I will monitor whatever this is actually helping more than adding error. If you encounter annoying case don't hesitate to tell me. hopefully with time I can find a good balance on that


#055
2023-06-26

Upgraded the lemmatizer to sometime (8824 know pairs so far, to be improved over time) recognise pair of words, typically when you got 2 words in a single word without space. A good example is the 18th story of 외국인을 위한 한국어 읽기, it contains the word 금도끼 (golden ax) which does not exist itself in the krdict however 금 (gold) do exist and 도끼 (ax) also exist. See screenshot, it now would consider them as 2 word with different status and definitions. A release for the extension is coming later.

I released a way to import epub and convert it to markdown. The conversion is "best effort" and no image are included. This should be good enough to read book on it. If your import failed or was all broken, don't hesitate to tell me so I can look into it. Books can be large but it should be decently fast even on your phone.

Hello , I silently released something quite cool but it's very alpha ™️ you can expect bugs 🐛 . Basically now kimchi-reader.app is installable on your phone and you can upload some text to study. This is the foundation for the many feature I have in minds but the direct advantage that you can have starting today are

  1. Being able to study on pc and continue your session on mobile.
  2. Use Kimchi Reader without internet (partially, but the core function of studying should works)
