In their own words
jidoujisho
jidoujisho brings video playback, reading, dictionary lookup and flashcard creation into an Android language-learning app. It handles local media, YouTube videos, Jellyfin streams and direct URLs, with word lookup by tapping or dragging across subtitles and paragraphs. Readers can open offline books in the embedded ッツ Ebook Reader or read manga processed with Mokuro. For study cards, users can edit fields and export the current image and audio to AnkiDroid. Dictionary support covers Yomichan, Migaku and ABBYY Lingvo DSL formats; dictionary data is not bundled, and Yomichan structured-content dictionaries are unsupported. Listed services include ChatGPT, Bing image search, Forvo, JapanesePod101 audio search, and example sentences from Massif, Tatoeba and ImmersionKit. WebSocket support allows use with texthookers. Japanese and English are officially supported; other languages depend on dictionary format and search support. jidoujisho is free and open source under GPL-3.0. It requires Android 7.0 or later and AnkiDroid. External subtitles include SRT, ASS and SSA, but not image-based PGS.
JSONBuddy
JSONBuddy provides tools for editing, validating, formatting, transforming, and automating JSON and JSON Schema work. Its Windows editor offers text and grid views, schema-aware completion, and validation results. Schema tools include authoring assistance, reference navigation, diagnostics, debugging, analysis, tests, and documentation. Validation checks JSON syntax and schema constraints, with reports linking failing data to relevant rules. The product converts among JSON, CSV, XML, and HTML, including CSV imports and JSON-to-CSV output. Streaming validation can process large JSON without loading the entire document into memory; streaming JSON Schema validation through -jsv requires a JSONBuddy Large Data license. Windows command-line tools support repeatable checks in scripts and CI, and the published Core API v1 supports formatting, minifying, JSON Patch, validation, and schema documentation. ValBuddy CLI performs file operations locally on Windows and can return selected diagnostics to an AI agent, though selected content or diagnostics may be sent to its model provider. Licenses include free personal and educational use and paid perpetual options, starting at $15 for JSONBuddy Swift. The portable package requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11.
