About this site

A fast and simple dictionary for anyone learning Japanese. You can find words or kanji using the search box above. There are better resources out there like jisho.org, but this website was built as a personal project to improve my knowledge of both software engineering and Japanese. There's still plenty of room for improvement, and I'll keep working on it whenever I get the chance. (✧ω✧)


I'd like to keep adding new features in the future, such as:

  •   Inflection information
  •   Search using Radicals
  •   Search using Tags like
    JLPT N5
  •   Show shortcuts to related kanji

About me

This site was built by me (Jordi), and you can reach me on izquiratops.bsky.social.

I made this project to learn more about Go, Text search and how to host services out there. The source code is public in my tangled.org repository.
