Could you build this?
Partial The reader UI, furigana, dictionary lookup, and payments are vibe-codeable, but a quality product needs a daily pipeline of level-appropriate Japanese news and accurate pitch-accent data, plus native-quality audio.
What it would actually take: Build a Next.js or mobile front end with a backend that ingests Japanese news feeds, uses an LLM to rewrite articles at graded levels, and tokenizes them with a morphological analyzer such as MeCab or Sudachi to add furigana and grammar notes. Pitch accent needs an accent dictionary (e.g., NHK-derived or UniDic-based data) and licensed or recorded native audio, and the content and audio QA needs a Japanese-speaking editor.
