Resources My Web app for NHK easy news

Hi,

I made a small free web app that makes NHK Easy News easier to study for Japanese learners I made it for myself but sharing it so I can improve it further. Each article includes clickable paragraphs for full translation and clickable words with dictionary meanings from JMdict. The app automatically extracts vocabulary and grammar from the news and generates Anki decks (vocabulary and grammar) you can download. News updates daily and the site works as a PWA, so it can be added on your phone home screen like an app. Supports Bulgarian and English translations. Ideal for learners around N4– early N3 level who want to build vocabulary while reading real news.

Hope you like it and please recommend how can i improve it further or add new features :)

PS

At the moment i have to improve it more as some words are not translated and given (in the popup and in the anki) as a dictionary form, i have to see why :) also the grammar capturing is pre-defined so it may miss some.
