Thanks let me know asap if anything looks really broken. I'll be offline in ~40 mins.
I did try to update sooner this time but it took a while to do the update carefully and also upload my own data from local use since November or so... so in the end I finished 3 hours later 
Sentences : fixed, silly bug returned incorrect sentence string for the flashcard display.
synewave : "ai love love" is a dummy sentence (hence the english) where I put compounds with kanj "ai" to test in the Onyomi area. Anyway as said above, fixed now 
Agh, it's down, just as I was about to start entering more vocab
Sentences can be up to ~250 characters.
The review page, yes.. I have to think of a good layout that adapt to cards with long sentences, because I want to keep the characters large and easy to read.
A note on the readings :
In theory there is no need to copy the readings for the sentence into the notes area. If you add the words in the sentence, each word has the reading below.
So if you want to add sentences a little faster, use a descriptive sentence pack name, add the words you don't know well and that's it. For grammatical constructions you'll probably want to use the notes. You may have noticed already the sentence editor always sets the last sentence pack you used as default.
The difference with a complete phonetic reading is that words from the dictionary are in plain form, non conjugated. But you can infer the proper reading by removing the kana ending and using the kana from the sentence. I think that works always, though I'd be interested to know if you come accress situations where this doesn't work.
I think for new material, researching the verbs and non-inflected adjectives and such is good practice, although I should probably improve the dic so that you can do wildcards.
For existing material, I reckon it may feel tedious to enter the words for each sentence.
Enter only the words that you don't know well enough yet. That was the main idea I started with, because for simplicity's sake every word you add become a flashcard without any other action required.
This has the downside that if you add simple everyday words from the sentences, they will come into your reviews. When you review, just click "Source(s)" link to go to the sentence, and remove the words that you don't want to review. If you read the sentence later and you can't read it anymore, chances are you need to review that word again 
A vocabulary item flashcard will be deleted when there is no more sentence, vocablist OR kanji study page pointing to it.
If you add a word from the kanji study page, you'll know because the "x" to delete it only appears there. I need to add the "Source" link there too so you can go from review to the study page and unlink words. The reason you can add words from there is when you want to go study from the onyomi groups, or when you want to "fill in the blanks" once you have 80% or more of the onyomi readings covered. Or you could ignore it, and stick to words you actually use or come accross while reading, up to you!
In the future, I think I will merge vocablists and sentences into the first TAB. There's just too much overlap. Then TAB 2 should be purely about words with more tests and quizzes to practice the writings/readings.
Then TAB 1 will also be about "articles", which is something you can simulate now by pasting a text excerpt into the notes area, except you don't review it, but all the related words can be attached. Which will then tie in directly with a revamped "reading" page...
