jisho-nomikomi 👹 辞書・飲み込み

A command line tool for generating Anki cards with information from jisho.org (an online Japanese dictionary).

辞書・飲み込み → jisho nomikomi → dictionary swallowing

I wanted a cute name that's fun to say in my head. I like to imagine this program greedily scraping up data like a dubious little creature, and crunch-crunching it into a tidy little format.
