The English word page now shows synonyms! So if you look at the page for must, you'll see the synonyms "have to" and "need to". When you search for a word and it matches a synonym of a word in the database, it'll show up in the search results.
I also improved an annoying UI thing. When viewing flashcards on desktop (or just, larger window sizes) and the text is very long, it could make the page stretch horizontally, causing a scrollbar to appear. Turns out this was a bug in Bootstrap and I just needed to update to a later version.
New translations:
- fly
- to wipe
- toilet paper
- pound
- far
- quite

I did a little bit of reorganizing the categories. I moved "Animals" and "Outside" to their own section called Nature. I also renamed the "School" category to School/Work and added the translation for "to work a job".
I've also recorded a few more audio clips, just for completeness. I have recordings for the alternate pronunciations of the numbers 1 and 2.
Finally, I added one more sentence: "I have to brush my teeth". Yesterday I was reading up on the different uses of the word 着 dioh8. There are a lot of them! I've only added two of them to the site: "must" and "then". I don't think these work well as standalone word flashcards, so they're hidden from that, but I'll try to add more sentences that use it.

I refactored the code, I fixed a few bugs, and I added two more words to the database, "rabbit" and "to wait".
I've really got to stop refactoring the code so much though. Hopefully next update will just have more translations.

I had this idea to hide certain translations from the Flashcards UI. The word fast has two translations, but one of them is just the same word repeated. I feel like having too many translations on a flashcard feels cluttered, so I wanted to clean it up a little. I'm not sure if it was worth it to restructure the database, but we'll see.
New translations:
- squirrel (requested by my aunt)
- to brush teeth
- toothbrush
- toothpaste

The code is now on github! I actually did some cleaning up and created a brand new repository for this. I wanted to clean up more, but if I didn't post this until I was satisfied, it would never be public. I have so so many things I want to add to this site and I've just kept it in a giant text file. Maybe I'll actually utilize github's Issues feature now.
I realized I needed to update my code to display tone change for the sentences, clock time, and numbers, so I added that.
New translations added:
- wristwatch
- bracelet
- ring
- dress
