About
Textbooks teach Japanese that stops at the classroom door. YABAI is the other half: 308 real slang, internet and fandom words, each on a card built around giant Japanese typography. Every word has a meaning, a real example, a vibe check (safe to use? friends only? careful?) and a story — and when the origin is uncertain, it says so instead of inventing one. Built end to end with AI agents in Claude Code. 13 languages, works offline. No streaks, no tests, no XP.
AI Summary
YABAI is an educational Android app that teaches users 308 real Japanese slang and internet words through interactive cards featuring typography and contextual information. The app supports 13 languages, operates offline, and is designed without traditional gamification elements like streaks or tests.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
