📖 Overview

Pixiji is a personal project which helps users to practice Japanese characters, with quizzes. The illustration’s squares contain Kanjis (Japanese characters) and are interactive. As a Japanese learner myself (and after spending one year living there), I thought it would be fun to mix learning Japanese and illustrations.

I originally made it as a portfolio project in 2021 (I made the project entirely, concept design and development). I then kept working on it in 2022, to practice Gatsby, TypeScript and started adding a Backend. You can read more about the making process here.

🔥 Challenges

I spent quite a bit of time on the visual aspect and animations of this project. Since it was still one of the first projects I made as a programmer, I wasn't sure if I would be able to find a good way to create the illustrations and make them interactive, and was happy when I succeeded.
