Maksym’s new word popup is ready! Its power is vast. It combines the old item progress page with the magnifying glass lookup menu, plus some new controls. Now you can edit definitions or mnemonics or link over to your favorite dictionary from anywhere–in a list, while practicing, in the vocab viewer, in the club, wherever. Many have asked to be able to add mnemonics or edit definitions while making a list; now it’ll be easy.

The most exciting part of this is that you now have a quick way to add and remove various parts from the words you’re studying. So if you decide that you don’t actually want to spend 9 minutes learning to write 打喷嚏 so that you can stump the Chinese, you can just surgically remove that writing part. Or say you want to control whether 嚏 comes up for study by itself: since the decomposition is right there, you can add or remove all of its parts by clicking the plus or minus button next to it, or get another popup for 嚏 itself by clicking on it.
We may include yet more controls and information in here later. Consume it and let us know what’s good! From the practice page, you click the magnifying glass for the word or character being prompted, or the component itself for any components in a character decomposition. From other pages, just click the characters.
