It would be nice to have an option to start by directly prompting a kanji with an empty canvas, and only going through the learning steps if we mess up on the first encounter.
For people that already learnt kanji by recognition (which should be a majority), this would speed up the learning process tremendously, especially for the simpler kanji.
There is already a way to mark kanji as "known" or "mastered", in the upper-right. Does this solve your issue?
I feel like forcing them to blindly attempt a kanji they don't already know would be more annoying.
I have tried this, and I feel like the repetition delay between setting the card as "known" for the first time, and actually going through every drawing phases for the first time, differ for some reason. It may be my imagination, but the cards set as "known" take longer to appear, which seems weird.
Moreover, it feels more annoying to be "spoiled" a kanji we already know, setting it as "known", and having to wait some time before we are actually tested on it. Seems like a waste of an opportunity to test the user's knowledge.
At any rate, I do not encourage forcing the user, but rather adding a togglable option that they can turn off after they have reached a point where every kanji they see is a new one.
