I'm fairly new to the app; my favorite thing about jisho.org as a dictionary is that they list all radicals/parts for each kanji with the radical meaning (far more useful for learning a kanji's meaning than the radical name; it's impossible not to remember 休 now that I know it's a 人person hanging out with a 木tree, and easy to memorize 忙 now that I know the symbol for busy is "亡" dying/deceased "心 (忄, ⺗)" heart... and now I'm going to go rethink my tendency to overcommit.) I had to deactivate radicals on the kanji quiz, because it doesn't allow me to see any radicals on the review, but then asks me the Japanese name of the radical on the quiz. Is there a way to show all the radicals/parts with their meanings, not their names, to help us learn what the whole kanji character means? It's helpful and often profound. I know you're sick; maybe we could help make it happen, or in a couple years you'll be able to do it. You've created a wonderful app.
Note from マイコー/Michael: due to a potentially severe illness, I am unable (for the foreseeable future) to consider any requests for new features or improvements to existing ones. Please consider going to the 'Questions about renshuu'' forum category and see if there is an alternate way to get what you're trying to get out of your time on renshuu.
So for 亻, instead of にんべん, or rather, in addition to that, you want to see “radical number 9?” And “heart, standing heart radical variant (no. 61)” instead of りっしんべん for 忄?
I think there are only a few radicals like these two that don’t show up in the parts list. 刂 (りっとう) and 乚 (おつにょう,つりばり) are others. 所, for example, shows both components in the parts list: 戸 (door, counter for houses, door radical (no. 63)); 斤 (axe, 1.32 lb, catty, counter for loaves of bread, axe radical (no. 69)).
It’s probably just a matter of tweaking the parts file to fix this, although digging into why Jisho doesn’t have this issue might require some detective work. There is also the possibility that it is related to this bug.
Chances are the list of radical variants is short enough that you’ve learned them all already. If you need to review, there’s the Radical Chart under Resources.
Sidestepping the original request a bit to say that I hope to have a standalone radical schedule system that doesn't treat them as just an element of the kanji amongst other elements (readings, stroke, etc.), but as a fully separate body of knowledge.
