We started building an application to help students of Chinese better learn and remember their characters 12 months ago. This is the story of what we've been doing in the interim, some of the trials we've faced, the fun we've had along the way, and where we're headed in the next few months. It's a longer post, so feel free to skim. Hopefully we kept enough quirky details about our lives to keep people interested! If you have any questions, I'll be checking back here regularly.
