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:

legacy.skritter.cn

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.

this site would be even better if...

This site would be even better if users could also practice with Flashcards. The writing is great, but it would be cool to be able to do flashcards as well.

This is something that has been talked about numerous times (for good reason :) ), most recently here: http://www.skritter.com/forum/topic?id=15788574&comments=17

Basically they are working on it and it is coming soon (maybe 1-2 months max), and it will be awesome :)

Peace.

Yep! And it will be even better than just flashcards, because you'll be actively writing the readings and definitions, rather than passively using the card. Active learning is way more engaging and effective than passive learning, so those readings and definitions will really stick. We'll start it off as simple passive flashcards and then gradually add in the active learning parts.

I might lie to Skritter if I am forced to passively make a decision haha.

Yay, these are good news. I noticed that my character recognition is not trained as well as my writing, and it is still a bit tedious to export the learned words into other learning software. So I'm really looking forward to these features.
