I built an iOS app for studying Japanese called Manabi Reader. It collects interesting short-form reading materials, has one-tap dictionary lookups, and lets you add words to flashcards.

I'm currently working on extending it with word tracking functionality, so that you can see which words in an article are new to you, can track your progress through kanji by reading, etc.

How do you solve the problem that almost all interesting material is copyrighted? I use texts from https://www.aozora.gr.jp/ but most of those are somewhat old-fashioned, except for a few modern Japanese translations of foreign public-domain literature.

The app is a dressed-up RSS reader
