## Description

Hanabira.org is a free, open-source language learning platform focused on Japanese (JLPT N5–N1) and Korean (TOPIK). It combines immersion tools — YouTube and Netflix subtitle parsing, manga OCR, EPUB reader — with structured study: a WaniKani-style kanji path (Hanamichi), SRS flashcards, grammar library, quizzes, and interactive relation graphs. All learned words feed a single knowledge profile so furigana fades on known kanji and every tool shows what percentage of a video or text you already know. The self-hosted edition runs via Docker Compose (nginx on port 8888, Next.js frontend, Express/Flask backends, dictionary service) and uses MongoDB for data. Core features are free forever; a $1/month Patreon Supporter plan unlocks unlimited AI-powered immersion, OCR, and LLM translations. The project is in public alpha (v0.9.0 on the live site, v0.3.x prereleases on GitHub) and the maintainer notes containers are large, unoptimized, and run as root.
