Miscellaneous small tweaks today:

• Upgraded the icons to FontAwesome 5. I think they look a tiny little bit better
• Use a nicer animated spinning "loading" icon in various places (Edit Story & Dictionary dialogs)
• Removed the "Tweet this page" button... (don't think anybody uses it)

Please let me know if I broke something as it's difficult to test on a variety of mobile devices.

PS: I had to reset the cache, so the Study pages may load slower for a few days.

There is a feature i've wanted to implement for a long time. You'd be able to just click any of the items in the Dictionary popup while reviewing, to add the vocabulary to the flashcard. Click again to remove it. Dead simple way of customizing cards with your choice of vocab.

So you'd be free, if you want, to pick only words using the On or Kun readings. Or maybe you'd want to pick words based on a textbook you're working with. Of course with the smart dictionary feature I implemented back in October, it's also easy to pick an example word since the words made of known kanji are highlighted.

Along with that there could be a free review mode (non SRS) of a random pick of vocabulary from your flashcards. WHich would be more meaningful than the current "Vocab Shuffle" feature then, as the words are ones you previously bookmarked onto your cards.

Let me know what you think.

I switched the delivery of FontAwesome (icons) from maxcdn to cloudflare today. In theory this should improve things as there are more servers around the world. I suspect the font itself causes a small lag sometime. It's very hard to test these things. So definitely let me know if you notice any issue with the loading of the website since today.

The boxes on the SRS chart are now labelled plain numbers and only the last one has a plus sign. So eg. "1 2 3 4 5+" instead of "1+ 2+ 3+ 4+ 5+". This is a tiny bit more intuitive as the last box always includes all the cards from that box and above. The new labeling should make that a little more obvious.
