I built an interactive learning dashboard for HSK 1, would anyone want it?

Hi everyone! =)

I’m studying Mandarin and wanted a more structured way to work through HSK 1, so I made a free browser based dashboard for HSK 1 prep. It's working really well for me so I thought I it could be nice to share it!

I want to be superrrr clear this isn't a business, or affiliated with one in any way. Just me sharing something I built!

It's designed around the 150 word HSK 1 vocabulary list, with a 38 day study plan at 4 new words per day. Made to be intuitive and easy to use.

As you mark days complete, more practice unlocks automatically. The review tools like flashcards only use words from completed days, so the dashboard grows with you instead of overwhelming you at the start.

It includes:

  • Daily vocabulary (character, pinyin, translation, listening, sentences, and stroke order)
  • Flashcards & mistake review deck (clears once you get it correct twice)
  • Tone practice (selecting the right tones for pinyin vocab)
  • Full sentence listening practice
  • Sentence builder for grammar and word order
  • HSK 1 grammar notes
  • HSK 1 exam info and official practice links
  • Progress tracking across sessions using local browser storage to keep you motivated!

It’s 100% free, no account required, and progress is saved locally in your browser. There’s also an export option if you want to back up your progress. Absolutely no data gets sent to anybody, 100% private.

I made this as a labor of love and thought it might help other beginners too. Feedback is very welcome, especially if you notice anything off in the Mandarin, pinyin, translations, or HSK-style practice sentences.

How to Get (in 30 seconds)

  1. You can get it from Github here
  2. Download the zip file (imgur screenshot to help you find the button). The file will include a ReadMe file (an overview of how it works, like this reddit post) and the .html file which is the dashboard.
  3. When you open the html file, it will launch as a webpage in your browser. That's it!

Hope it helps!
