Donguri: 5ch Reader with Yomitan Lookups & Anki Mining for iOS

Donguri

Donguri (どんぐり — "acorn") is a 5ちゃんねる reader for iOS with a Yomitan-style pop-up dictionary and Anki integration, made for reading 5ch as immersion practice.

Essentially Hoshi Reader for 5ch instead of EPUBs.

Features

- Tap any word in a post to look it up — Yomitan-style pop-up dictionary with deinflection support (tapping 食べさせられた finds 食べる)

- Support for all Yomitan term, frequency and pitch dictionaries

- One-tap Anki mining via AnkiMobile or AnkiConnect, with the core handlebars used by Lapis

- Audio for Yomitan online audio sources

- Standalone dictionary search

- Full 5ch browsing: board menu → boards → threads, with dat and read.cgi archive support (so dat落ち threads still open)

- Reply previews, read-position tracking and per-thread unread counts

- Tap an ID or tripcode to highlight every post by that poster

- Inline image thumbnails with a pinch-zoom fullscreen viewer

Getting started

Donguri ships with no dictionaries. On first run, open ⚙︎ → 辞書 → Download Recommended Dictionaries to fetch JMdict, JMnedict and the Jiten frequency list (~33 MB), or use + to import any Yomitan dictionary .zip.

For Anki, open ⚙︎ → Anki. AnkiConnect works over HTTP; AnkiMobile is driven via x-callback-url and needs the app installed on the same device.
