Show visually similar kanjis

[...] Also, I have yet to find an app that does "visually similar kanji" well so that would be another feature I'd appreciate, personally. Often, I know how to read a very similar kanji so would be nice to just go to that kanji's page and then have a "visually similar" kanji section so I could quickly find the visually similar one I'm trying to look up.

List of visually similar ones (that do NOT share radicals):

• 粗 - 相

For the Kanji similarity feature I need more input. When you have an entry opened, did you try the "Kanji map" option? It shows you kanjis that use the same radicals (requires internet though).If this is not what you mean, maybe you can explain a bit more.

I did not - that looks like it would solve 90% of the issue! There are some kanji, though, that look similar despite having no shared radicals - for example, 粗 and 相.
Often I'll misread one as the other and vice versa making it a little more challenging to look things up - although this probably isn't super high priority with the Kanji map feature, since most of the time at least 1 or 2 radicals will be shared.

To be honest, this sounds not really necessary. But it sounds like a super fun ML task, that I would like to do. Could you give me some more of those visually similar ones?
Additionally, would you be interested in joining the discord server ? If I would add this feature it would be nice if could get your opinion on it before publishing it.

tbh I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but I'll start keeping a log as I run into them during my studies over the next week or so and send that over if that works!
I'm not often on discord but happy to join!
