How to display Stroke Order on Kanji Koohii

#1
Does anyone know if there are plans to add some kind of stroke order animation to the review section? At the moment I'm always flipping over to jisho.org to check the correct strokes.

I'm sure the developer is aware of this interesting javascript library:

I understand the site relies on donations to keep going which I will definitely get round to doing soon.

My solution is using chromium (I guess chrome would work the same) with the addone openstylebot and add this .css to the review page:

span.cj-k {
font-family: "EPSON 教科書体M",
"KanjiStrokeOrders",
"EPSON 丸ゴシック体M",
"EPSON 正楷書体M",
"EPSON 行書体M";
}

As you can see there are multiple japanese fonts (find them here and here).

When reviewing in the browser I keep the extension open and add a space to the font name so the system fail to find it and tries the next.

In other words I see first the "perfect handwriting" one, the stroke order one, the super tidy one, and finally other handwriting.

Shinsen's script for Greasemonkey should still work. It shows a step by step diagram of the strokes as seen on tangorin.com

You'll need to install Greasemonkey (firefox) or Tampermonkey (Chrome) and then copy paste that in a new script that applies to the kanji.koohii.com/* pages :

ezzetabi's solution is simple and should work too.


I've got quite a bit on my plate atm, atfer relocating, and I have to look for a "real" job... so I'm unlikely to make significant developments for some time.

That said if you understand the Heisig method, really the stroke order for the most part is based on the components' individual stroke order, with some exceptions. Typically from left to right, top to bottom.

Is the code available? It is possible to send patches?

No. I open sourced the website several years ago and almost nothing came out of it. I'm not investing the time again in preparing the whole repository, merging patches and so on. It's just not worth it. Only something I will consider if / when I stop taking care of the site.

As shinsen demonstrated , quite a lot of things can be added to the review page via extensions, which does not require my intervention.
