Here's another good idea that might turn out to be a bad idea once an obvious flaw is pointed out. I think I'd like to be able to easily see and print (a) the characters (or words) that have gone from 'not known' to 'known' in the last day/week, and (b) the ones that have gone from 'known' to 'not known' in the same period. seems to me these are the ones I could most usefully revise when I'm not on internet.
If it's done weekly, it could perhaps be included in the weekly progress report, to avoid having an extra button or feature.
