Well it's been a while ! Update time ! And it's quite a big one.

Obenkyobo v0.3.0 changelog (tldr version) :

Added Vocabulary<->Romanji MCQ with possibility to swap Kanji/Romanji during the test
Added PROPER SLEEP SUPPORT, no more dead battery under 2 days !!!
HUGE REFACTORING under the hood for the whole qcm system and data system
Improved Vocabulary Sheet System (Added Error/Malformed detection system, selection is now working, sheets can be displayed as a screensaver, etc)
Fixed multiple UI related bugs, improved UI experience and scalability across multiple screen size
Fixed minor bugs and probably added new ones

I've spent many nights on this application so far. Many nights that I should instead have spent using it and actually learning my japanese (Sorry Konoma senpai). And that's what I'm now planning to do.

This is not yet the end of development for this application. I intend to fix minor bugs, add some ways to add and consult grammar related notes, ways to interface to jisho.com to ask for (and maybe import into .oben sheets) translation directly from the internet, etc... So yeah I've got ideas to enhance it.

But at the same time, I need to shift my priorities. Stop spending time and money to support more and more kobo devices. Especially when I don't even know if anyone is actually using this application on such devices

.

So yeah. I might release a hotfix versions in a couple of weeks if I notice some bugs. But otherwise this application is probably going into cryosleep for some months.

I've edited the first post of this thread to be more diggest too, added some demo video.

In the meantime, please keep reporting any bugs, feedbacks, and share your Vocabulary Sheets if you want. And most importantly, have a nice day.
