Type Kana

A quiz app to help you learn ひらがな(hiragana) and カタカナ(katakana) , the Japanese syllabaries.

If you are just looking to play, a hosted version of whatever is currently on the main branch should be available here. No promises of uptime though!

Quick start

Make sure you have at least Node.js 14 installed, then run this in your shell:

npm install
npm run dev

This will install the dependencies needed, then start a live preview of the app as you edit the code.

Building for production

The command npm run build spits out a production ready build based on the Svelte Kit adapter used.

The current adapter used is @sveltejs/adapter-vercel, which outputs the app in the .vercel_build_output directory.
