Version .... DB version ....

Version history
2.024
Dark mode and improved overall visuals. Counter readings can now also be searched. What else... performance is also improved, with better concurrent request support.
2.021
Mistake reporting can now be done via the counter database Github repository. Also, kazoekata.jp link previews now look prettier and more informative in the search engines and social media thanks to new clean URL approach.
2.018
Usage notes now appear in cards needing them (such as "tsubo"). Using with your mobile device should also be a bit more pleasant. Content-wise, some counters now use traditional Japanese reading for 3 items (if deemed more appropriate).
2.015
Added reading style preferences. Also smaller UI improvements. In the background, the reading generation logic now produces the correct reading more often, and the fallback counters "つ" and "個" are displayed if there are no good search matches.
2.012
Original counter data sources are now visible by clicking the "Source" link. Also includes further performance improvements.
2.009
Improved search performance.
2.006
Major improvements to the UI, which is now more modern and sleek.
1.097
First major update to the kazoekata.jp, adding counter reverse search and counter commonness indicator to the UI, and improving search performance. Also includes some fixes to the UI in smaller screens.
0.301
This is the initial version of kazoekata.jp, with limited functionality and use. In other words, still a lot of work to do, especially in the rōmaji reading generation logic (automatic Japanese is difficult). The counters for this initial database were gathered from all across the web, especially from Tofugu.com and Sanabo.com. Your feedback is welcome.
