Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

How about customizable questions as well?

I'm currently learning characters from Remembering the Hanzi by Heisig. In this approach an english keyword is associated with each character through a silly story. So what I'd like to be able to do is to add this keyword to each character in my custom list and have it display alongside pinyin and definition. Will this function be possible in the future perhaps?

We were thinking about potentially integrating the headwords into the definitions by bolding them. Not yet sure how we'd pick/enter headwords, yet. How would that be?

We'll also have personal definitions, to which you can add your own headwords, but that'd be a hassle to do all of those yourself. They're also not ready yet.

Heisig support will be good, though.

If it would help I have an Excel file with all the Heisig hanzi together with headwords, number and pinyin. I exported this from Anki, where someone have been kind enough to put a complete set together. The stories aren't included though since it would be an infringement on the copyright.

Come to think of it, maybe the headwords are copyrighted as well... Oh well, I own the book at least, so if you'd develop a way to enter personal headwords for characters it would be super! Even better to include Heisig support by default, but that would probably require some kind of extra fee...

Personnal definition is interesting but what is really needed is to provide some exemple on how to use the chars. Things are much more clearer when it's included in a short sentence.
