Extension summary

WaniKanify 2.0 takes the vocabulary you've studied on WaniKani, finds the English word on a webpage and substitutes the kanji character. As you learn more kanji, your webpages begin to fill up with kanji! WaniKanify 2.0 can find words anywhere on a webpage and replace it for kanji characters. It is a great utility for practicing and recalling vocabulary you may have forgotten.

To get started, install the extension, and go to the options page. Add your public WaniKani API key, which can be found on the WaniKani website, and hit save.

Navigate to your favorite webpages, hit the Crabigator and read as normal. As you read, you'll come across kanji characters you should know. Do you remember what the mean? How to pronounce them?

One of the best extension EVER! Allows me to immerse at the same exact pace of my wanikani. Absolutely essential for me! Everyone who uses wanikani should use this tool. Please update it to follow the best practices or whatever google wants because I really love this extension.

This works great! But know that this only works for the vocabulary words, not radicals or kanji. For the first several days of using Wanikani I thought this plugin was broken, but I just had not leveled up enough to use it.
