Tag words

Hi guys
I often come across some words that I want to put in a special list, or on a special categories. Some times it's about a special topic, or the visual aspect of the hanzi, or because i need it in daily life etc.
Do you think it would be a good idea be able to tag some words directly from the practice window, so that you can use it later, for example to cram on a special tag list?

It is a good idea. Do you think this would be most helpful with typing out a tag for it, or with just a "Mark" button that added it to a special cram list or some other sort of list? That way you would be able to do it really quickly, but you would only have one tag, essentially.

I was more thinking of a "mark" button, the purpose being to add quickly the character to a list, and not forgetting to add it. I don't think i would want to end up with hundreds of custom lists, therefore a typing pad is not necessary to me . Just being able to click "Add to cram" would be really useful already :)

You know what would be the greatest thing ever? I would actually pay extra money for this I think.

If you could tag certain words that you have a lot of trouble with. And then be able to export them to a printable practice sheet, so that I can practice writing them offline.

It would be even better if skritter could automatically generate a list of say the top 10,15,25, etc. words that you have had the hardest time remembering. There are some that I know I have a really hard time remembering, I would love to compile my weekly list of such words, but it's far too manual of an ordeal.

I would love to be able to mark/tag/whatever words and just cram marked ones from a particular list (i.e. the ones I don't know well, ones I particularly want to learn, etc.).

It seems like having everyone get a cram list of words that are marked during practice might be the easiest way to get this implemented soon. I'll get George to design such a button into the new prompt we're working on. This'll be swell. The more advanced stuff will have to come later if this doesn't satisfy.

Printing practice sheets is unfortunately a much longer-term thing. I do think it will be very cool.
