Kotomo

A personal Japanese learning app with structured lessons and practice flows, built as a focused solo product rather than a generic notes tool.

Role. Solo project: product design and full stack.

  • Learning
  • Next.js

Problem

Wanted a focused place to practice Japanese without bolting features onto a generic notes app or juggling disconnected drills.

How it works

A single web app for learning flows and practice sessions. Built for personal use and iteration, not linked as a public product here.

Decisions

  • Keep it as one deployable app instead of a heavier multi-service setup.
  • Optimize for daily practice loops over feature sprawl.

Outcomes

  • A learning app I can improve without a client brief.
