Completing Jisho 3.0

I’m hard at work on the next release of Jisho and am getting quite excited about the progress made so far. The major feature for this release is a completely rewritten database interface and more importantly a completely new database structure. The searching code is also being made completely self contained, allowing it to be more portable…

The major issue this new database corrects is how Jisho restricted readings of kanji and such. As you can see the development version is *much* improved in those regards. Many thanks go to Lauren, Judit, and Daniel for bringing this issue to my attention.

You can see the differences in the following screenshots. Perhaps it is not the best word to demonstrate with, but it is an excellent example of the profound difference.

The version shown above is obviously not complete yet as you’ll notice it lacks a part of speech. I’m working on that, but it is going to be localizable and awesome. If you are interested in helping localize Jisho, please contact me (leave a comment, email etc).
