# Mandarin Reader

A Mandarin Chinese PDF, subtitle, and clipboard text reader with a popup dictionary and built-in spaced-repetition flashcards. Installable as a progressive web app on mobile and desktop (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux) and works entirely offline. Written with [React](https://react.dev), [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org), [Next.js](https://nextjs.org), [TailwindCSS](https://tailwindcss.com), and [Zustand](https://github.com/pmndrs/zustand). Inspired by [Pleco](https://www.pleco.com). Initialized with [create-t3-app](https://create.t3.gg).

## Features

- Look up Mandarin words you don't know by clicking on them in the reader

- Save words as flashcards by clicking on the "+" button

- Learn words in context by having the word's context automatically saved to each flashcard

- Flashcards use a spaced-repetition algorithm to maximize learning efficiency

- Works entirely offline

- Installable on mobile and desktop as a progressive web app (works on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux)
