Features

• Browse — all vowels, consonants, and special characters in one view
• Flashcard mode — tap to reveal, rate yourself (Easy / Good / Hard), shuffle anytime
• Quiz mode — multiple choice, 10 questions, scored at the end
• Fully offline — service worker caches all assets on first visit
• PWA installable — add to home screen on Android or desktop

---

Tech

• Vanilla HTML + CSS + JavaScript
• jQuery (local, no CDN)
• Service Worker (cache-first, full offline support)
• Web App Manifest (standalone display, themed)

No build step. No dependencies to install. Just static files.

Run Locally

No build needed — just serve the folder over HTTP:

# Python
python -m http.server 8000

# Node
npx serve .

Then open http://localhost:8000.

Opening index.html directly as a file:// URL won't register the service worker — use a local server.

Updating the Cache

When you change any asset, bump the cache version in sw.js:

const CACHE_NAME = 'akshara-v2'; // increment this

This forces existing installs to fetch fresh files on next load.

Roadmap

• Conjunct consonants (ଯୁକ୍ତାକ୍ଷର)
• Pronunciation audio clips
• Spaced repetition for flashcards
• Play Store release via TWA (Trusted Web Activity)
