What is Reviewing the Kanji?

Reviewing the Kanji (abbreviated "RevTK") is a web application to learn and review the japanese characters. The site was originally created to support the kanji study method "Remembering the Kanji", from James W. Heisig.

The main features are a study area where learners can share kanji mnemonics, and a flahscard review area which uses the principle of spaced repetition to promote long term memory of the kanji.

Reviewing the Kanji became an open source project in January 2010. Fabrice's main motivations to make the website/webapp into open source are detailed in the January 11, 2010 announcement.

The website's codebase is free software licensed under AGPLv3. It is written in php and uses git for version control.
