## Description

WaniKanify 2.0 is a Chrome extension designed to reinforce your WaniKani vocabulary by substituting English words on webpages with their corresponding kanji characters. By integrating your WaniKani public API key, the extension dynamically replaces known words as you browse, helping you practice and recall kanji in real-life contexts. This experimental tool supports reading in Japanese by making kanji more visible on the web, enhancing your language learning immersion.

Installation is simple: add your WaniKani API key on the options page after installing the extension. Then, as you browse your favorite websites, activate the extension to see English words replaced with kanji you've learned. It’s a helpful utility for learners aiming to strengthen kanji recognition and recall. The project is open source and still undergoing testing, with an active community for support and updates.
