I dream of building a WaniKani competitor that uses FSRS. Unfortunately it's one of those projects where 10% of the work is building, and 90% of the work is marketing/community building/evangelism. (And the 10% is not trivial work either!)
Sooooo.... ehe... I got a little inspired yesterday, and got a head start on that 10%:

YMMV though, since I haven't user-tested it in my app yet haha.
TBH though, I think for a true WaniKani competitor, need to reserve a decent % of work for building the dataset. Putting together all those mnemonics, cleaning up definitions, defining the order of introduction of characters and choosing words... is a lot of effort. There's a reason that WaniKani's so generous with pretty much their entire platform, but specifically states in their docs that the mnemonics/hints data doesn't belong to you... it's a large part of the effort.
Although, I guess could be integrated into the 90% work if you make sharing mnemonics into a community effort.
