Hey there! I like to share something I made 😊

Dojo, a daily kendo practice, disguised as a card collection 🤺⚔️⛩️

Kendo is something that been sticking with me last 3 years... mostly get hit with a stick, repeatedly. But the part that sticks isn't the strikes, it's keiko: the same move, the same bow, over and over until they're yours. You don't win in kendo. You just keep showing up.

So I made an app that does the same thing. Dojo gives you one pack of three cards a day. No more, no matter how nicely you ask. Collect cards and you've quietly walk the path of a kendo practitioner!

It not a slot machine. No progress bars, no streak guilt, no confetti cannon at the finish. The grid just fills, one quiet day at a time.

I hope Dojo bows politely and asks you to come back tomorrow. And every card teaches you a little bit of kendo in English and Japanese, so you're learning while you collect.

📌 What to look for - One pack a day, waiting is a feature, not a bug. - Shin-Gi-Tai: 36 cards - Zero dopamine gimmicks - Bilingual cards a tiny kendo crash course.

📌 How it was made Pen and paper -> ideas, scribbles Claude -> to think out loud, plan and organized Figma -> to design the look, layout and details Agents / Weave -> to generate the card by theme Figma Make -> pack it all up in as an interactive experience Let me know what you think and hope you give Kendo a try! 🙏 https://dojo-kendo.figma.site/
