hi Jonathan your tool is brilliant #2

i always had same ideas but i am not a programmer
i am thinking about doing the exact same thing for Chinese language and other languages as well
how hard it is for a non programmer to actually modify your tool?
here what ideally want:
1- scrape a large set of Chinese text from different corpuses. like a large collection of books txt, in different fields. same thing for news websites, magazines. movies subs (are good since they are already chunked manually) , social media posts, and i saw before a data of Weibo private messages it's like real people private messages data that would be cool to add because mostly messages and public posts are mostly simple and important language.
i used to use anki a lot but i don't anymore. for me it's just time consuming and a never ending game. been there RTH-ed 4000 Hanzi. u guys call it RTK-ed kanji. so I'm done with srs. feel like a system like yours for me is even better than srs. because i reached a level where as u said if i see an I+1 in multiple great chosen sentences uniquely for me that would make the sentence and the word stick with no much effort.

my language setup now:

used to use morphman it's good (if you don't answer me maybe i will just go back to morphman)
cuz i think all i need is a sentence sorter by i+1

i bought the migaku if you heard of it yoga went and made it but always same problem remains. yes it made card creation easier but that's not what i need.

the ready made sentence database sorted seems better which is a common thing between us

after that i bought an old tool called Chinese analyzer haha it turned better than migaku and way cheaper. https://www.chinesetextanalyser.com/

you can read more details. simply it tracks your knowledge and shows unknown words in red, known are white. and has a built in dict for Chinese. (the logic behind the dict popup is brilliant which is if u click to define the word automatically it turns the word unknown there is no gray area. there is only u know it or not. i believe in that. anki has 3 or 4 buttons long before i used this tool i knew this and i only clicked green or red this really helped memorization quality over long run)

also has analytics you can give it any piece of text it tells you how many words u know and which u don't
so i go out to hunt some text or subs i copy paste and if find a text with less than 100 unknown words i consider it.

recently i discovered a deck in Chinese called spoon-fed the guy who made it,
made it from easy level Chinese sentences to difficult sentences so he already did the sorting manually

so when i took that deck and took it's text copy paste into this text analyzer i was really surprised at how fast can one learn when real comprehensible data is presented it's like starting with a pregnant sheep haha and then before you realize you find out you have thousands of sheep naturally u just need to be available.

and immersion extensive reading and listening becomes the real srs by that point personally i don't even need an srs. i only need huge amount of sentences
not very long ones... sorted the way you describe it and preferably linked to a tts text to speech engine so you can hear the sentence if needed.

i have a way to pronounce any sentence using a keyboard shortcut. i can share with u if u want

i think me and you can make great team.

i study now 10 hours Chinese per day for a long time. i need to learn Chinese asap it's gonna solve my financial problems

and i think together we can do some great experiments in a field we both love.
