Since the last devlog, I focused on preparing NihonGo! for a more complete public release. I expanded the learning content with new seeders for more hiragana, katakana, N5 kanji, and beginner lessons covering particles like を, に, の, questions with か, and polite ます verbs. I also added backend tests with Jest and Supertest to validate the API health check, protected dashboard routes, and unknown route handling.

On the frontend, I repolished the landing page to better present the app as a full Japanese learning platform, with clearer calls to action, feature highlights, preview stats, and a stronger visual identity. I also added a custom favicon and included a preview GIF so the project feels more complete and presentable from the first visit.

Finally, I prepared the project for deployment: I configured the backend for production PostgreSQL over SSL, added the proper start/test scripts and dependencies, consolidated the documentation into a full project README, and published the live demo on Render at nihongo-udug.onrender.com. With this, NihonGo! now has content, documentation, tests, production configuration, and a working public deployment.
