Know an app, tool, or project that helps people learn Japanese? Suggest it; I'd love to send a little support its way. It can be your own project or someone else's.

Supporting Open Source • Encouraging Creators • Giving Back

A Small Personal Fund for Japanese-Learning Projects

I'm not a company or a nonprofit, just one person who sets aside a bit of money to support open-source work that helps Japanese learners. If a project catches my eye, I reach out and send a small contribution as a thank-you.

Open Source Apps

Mobile apps, desktop applications, or web tools that help people learn Japanese more effectively.

🛠️

Learning Tools

Features, APIs, libraries, or educational resources that enhance Japanese learning experiences.

Community Projects

Platforms, forums, or services that bring Japanese learners together and foster collaborative learning.

The Numbers

I currently have around ¥50,000 set aside for open-source tech and projects that benefit the Japanese-learning community. Small amounts, given freely.

I'm Always Looking for Projects

I actively look for projects worth supporting, and I'm always happy to hear suggestions. If you know something — or someone — doing good work for Japanese learners, tell me about it.
