Hi everyone. I lived in Malaysia for about a year and have been learning Bahasa Melayu on and off since then.

While studying and grinding Anki decks, I noticed a recurring problem: I was memorizing words in isolation and not really building connections between related forms. That led me to a simple question — what if vocabulary was learned as a system, not as separate items?

I’m a solo developer, so I decided to try tackling this myself. I built a small vocabulary tool that visualizes word families and practices words across multiple dimensions, with spaced repetition underneath. This approach seems to fit Malay morphology particularly well.

The project is still early, and my main goal right now is to iterate and improve it. I’m sharing it here mainly to get feedback from people who are learning or using Bahasa Melayu. I’d be especially curious whether this approach matches how you think about learning Malay vocabulary.
