JReader
This far, I’ve created JReader, an article reader for practicing reading Japanese.
Having learned English as a second language I believe exposure is of utmost importance to learning a language. The more we consume it, the more we understand it.
The problem with Japanese, the barrier to entry is just too high. Trying to read a Manga you’ll find figuring out a word in Kanji, looking it up by radicals in the dictionary, will take 5-10 minutes. That completely breaks the flow of reading and kills your enthusiasm.
So JReader does this differently. I hope to provide easy to read content, in small chunks, that you can easily look up in dictionary if in doubt.

Written by Japanese
Our articles are written by actual Japanese people and relate to actual Japanese topics. It covers everything from personal experiences living in Japan to language to culture.
It's fast
The articles are short as to be able to be read without completely tiring you out. They’re also graded by the infamous JLPT scale.
All the words are adorned with Furigana, read helpers, checked for correctedness by our native authors.
Built-in
You’ve got a dictionary right in there. I find the Kindle dictionary invaluable when I read complicated books and I wanted to bring the same thing to the experience of practicing Japanese. This saves loads of time looking up words by radicals.

My dream with Japps is to make this the one go-to platform for learning Japanese.
