New home screen, journey map and calligraphy

New home screen design

• The home screen is redesigned: the lesson in the centre, progress rings for words, grammar and radicals, your journey map in the background.
• Basics lessons — pinyin, characters, phrases — are open from day one.
• New “Calligraphy” card: writing practice on your own words.

Journey map

• The journey map is a new way to see your progress. Each HSK level is a city that comes alive as you learn words: Shanhaiguan (HSK 1), Xi’an (HSK 2), Chengdu (HSK 3), Chongqing (HSK 4).
• The HSK 1 “Wall of Words”: every word is a brick you can tap and listen to.
• Milestones instead of percentages: each milestone you reach changes the city, and the city shows what you can already do.
• Each milestone earns a certificate you can share.
• In the apps the map lives in the “Journey” tab of “My progress”.

My progress

• “Knowledge” tab: how many words, rules and radicals you know, are learning and have not touched yet.
• The apps now have a “My progress” screen: “Journey”, “Trends”, “Knowledge”.

Copying characters

• Press and hold characters to copy them to the clipboard. Works in the dictionary, on lesson cards, in grammar and idioms.

Lessons

• Exercises and audio are prepared in advance — no waiting between cards.
• HSK 1 rules go from simple to complex: the first lesson starts with “A 是 B”.

Website on the phone

• Bottom bar: “Learning”, “Dictionary”, “Practice”, “Materials”.
• If the connection drops, the page reloads on its own.

History of Chinese writing

• New section “History of Chinese writing”: how characters changed over three thousand years, from the earliest inscriptions to typing on a keyboard. Twelve chapters with verified sources. Russian only for now.

App

• Fixed the edge swipe back and the splash screen hanging without a connection.
