This is wonderful! Just last night I realized I had a need for something like this, while using the "words containing" feature of Pleco. I find I can remember characters much better if I see their relationship to other characters. Then I recognized hey this is a graph, that would be a cool thing to play with.

I learned intermediate level Chinese 40 years ago, back when paper dictionaries with pinyin were the hot new thing. Then I forgot it all. I recently stumbled across Pleco, which astonished me so much I started learning Chinese again.

I'm looking forward to using HanziGraph in my studying.

My chromebook together with crouton was excellent until Google obsoleted it. I'll never buy another one.

I'm enjoying the Milewski series too. For a couple months I've been plowing through some books on Category Theory. It isn't easy for me. A disproportionate number of aha moments have happened while re-re-watching one of his presentations.

I've been enjoying this book for the last 2 weeks. It's not an easy read for me. I did a BA in Math about the time negative numbers were discovered and haven't touched math much ever since. But with some effort this book is do-able and has given me very many new insights to chew on. Looking forward to re-reading chapter 14 again again this evening.

A little regex skill goes a long way. A little bit more goes even longer than expected. And you can count on regex being a thing years from now.

I used Dvorak for about 15 years and loved it. There are probably incrementally better layouts now, but Dvorak was available when I switched. I found it very much more comfortable than QWERTY. Perhaps a little faster. But ending the pain in my hands was the big win. I would strongly encourage others to switch to an improved layout.

That said, I switched back to QWERTY about 5 years ago when Parkinson's stopped me from touch typing with my right hand. Now I type with my left hand and one finger on the right. I have to look at the keyboard. I use too many different keyboards to practically relabel the keys. It didn't take more than a few weeks to re-learn QWERTY on the left hand. My hands hurt more now, but at least keyboards are better now than they used to be.

When my Chromebook fell out of "support" it became useless. Like, I couldn't open a console or run Crouton to do what I needed to do. The hardware was fine, just Google remotely broke my machine. I liked my Chromebook, but will never get another one. I'm happy with my used Thinkpad that cost about as much as the Chromebook. I'm finished with Google.
