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.

Cram!

Bravo guys. A great new feature. I love the cram interface page, where with a click you can edit your list of words at your leisure. Very cool. Grabbing material from preexisting lists is quick and intuitive, too.

Another unexpected feature... With cram, you can force the introduction of new items immediately, rather than waiting for them to pop out of your Queue or Active Lists. I crammed something banal I had never studied before (这个, I think). Not paying attention, I wrote the wrong character and forgot to mark it right before moving on. Went back to my regular practice; two minutes later, there's 这个 again. I laughed and wrote it wrong a second time, as a joke. Haha.

It's good to know I can introduce a character NOW, if I don't feel like waiting for my 100+ Queue to work itself out.

Great job!

I wouldn't be surprised though if you only get real feedback in a few months (depending on semester schedule really) when exam period is coming up :)

Yup. Cram can add new items for you. If you are cramming and it comes across a word you haven't added yet, it will have to load for a bit as it adds the item. I figured adding stuff a little ahead of loading it (how it works in normal practice) might not be the best for cramming, and the delay usually isn't too big.

Glad you guys like it! Let us know what else you'd like it to do.
