Could you build this?

Partial The platform features (flashcards, spaced repetition, quizzes, progress tracking) are standard and vibe-codeable. The real value is in carefully structured, accurate JLPT-aligned content that takes linguistic expertise to produce.

What it would actually take: Use a standard web stack with a database for content and user progress, plus an SRS algorithm such as SM-2 or FSRS, which is available as open source. The hard part is curating thousands of vocabulary items, kanji, grammar points, and reading passages aligned to JLPT levels, which requires native-level or certified Japanese-language expertise and review. Audio and exercise quality also depend on that content work.
