Use the live page here: Zenwen Demo Bear in mind, it’s a demo, so no data is saved. As soon as you reload it’ll be lost. More info on running locally here: Main Repository What even is 禅文 Zenwen? Zenwen is an app to help you learn Chinese, and other languages if you wish. As of this ship, Zenwen is a vocab system designed to work for just about any need a user wants, while simple and easy to use. What was challenging First and foremost, learning Flutter was challenging. Dart is simple enough, but Flutter was something I had never seen before. The second challenge was figuring out an efficient data structure to store the many things users can create. This was challenging because I had to figure out how to store many decks with many vocab, while also being able to sort through them, search them, delete data, and access them quickly. Why I am proud! What makes me proud is that I learned an entire new framework and a lot about data storage that I had previously never touched. Learning this unlocks a whole world of coding opportunities that I’m excited to explore! Another thing I’m proud about is that I’ve learned how to debug better. I have learned how to use print functions usefully as well as things I previously didn’t know would cause errors.", "repo": "https://github.com/RandoWhoCodes/Zenwen/", "demo": "https://randowhocodes.github.io/Zenwen_Demo/"}]...

Worked on making my computer less laggy (no time logged for this) The Search Bar What’s the point in being able to make a bunch of decks and vocab if it takes too long to find them? Exactly, there is none. Today I started working on adding a search bar to the header of the app. Surprisingly, the logic behind it is pretty simple. Just iterate through the Maps and Lists . If an item matches your search, add it to a results Map . What I Learned You know those simple, boring headers at the top of basically every app? That’s what us Flutter devs call an AppBar . Apparently, AppBars have multiple parts: leading title (already knew about this one) trailing actions bottom The bottom is what I use for the search bar. Essentially, the bottom is an extension of widgets that are below the title. In order to make it work, you need to give the Scaffold (the parent of the AppBar ) specific details about the extension so that it renders properly. Specifically the height, which can’t be dynamic. 🀄 Since you made it this far Chinese word of the day: 吗 (pronounced “ma”) used to turn a statement into a yes or no question 你喜欢茶: You like tea. 你喜欢茶 吗 : Do you like tea?"}, {"post_id": 11430, "ts": "2026-06-18T18:14:30Z", "hours": 2.6472, "text": "🏯 禅文 Zenwen Day 5: documenting & my favorite feature!

Since flutter can quickly start looking like a random jumble of widgets, adding these comments really helped me understand exactly what everything is doing and will help others understand as well. 📕 My Dictionary, my favorite feature! I also started working on adding a major QoL improvement, a deck that contains all the vocab you’ve created. Have you ever had a word on the tip of your tongue but just can’t quite remember it? That’s no longer a problem. With My Dictionary, you can open it up and quickly search up that word in just 3 clicks.

Ships:
🏯 禅文 Zenwen Ship #1 Learning Chinese is hard, Zenwen makes it easier. Use the live page here: Zenwen Demo Bear in mind, it’s a demo, so no data is saved. As soon as you reload it’ll be lost. More info on running locally here: Main Repository What even is 禅文 Zenwen? Zenwen is an app to help you learn Chinese, and other languages if you wish. As of this ship, Zenwen is a vocab system designed to work for just about any need a user wants, while simple and easy to use. What was challenging First and foremost, learning Flutter was challenging. Dart is simple enough, but Flutter was something I had never seen before. The second challenge was figuring out an efficient data structure to store the many things users can create. This was challenging because I had to figure out how to store many decks with many vocab, while also being able to sort through them, search them, delete data, and access them quickly. Why I am proud! What makes me proud is that I learned an entire new framework and a lot about data storage that I had previously never touched. Learning this unlocks a whole world of coding opportunities that I’m excited to explore! Another thing I’m proud about is that I’ve learned how to debug better. I have learned how to use print functions usefully as well as things I previously didn’t know would cause errors....
