In plain English

Korean-study-web, called Han Ban in Chinese, is a small website aimed at Chinese students who are studying or planning to study in South Korea. The README is written in Chinese, and the project description says it pulls together several everyday tools into one place so that daily life and study in Korea become easier to follow. The repo has 14 stars and is written in TypeScript. The site offers a handful of features that map to common needs of a foreign student. There is a Korean vocabulary flashcard tool, a currency converter that handles Korean won, Chinese yuan, and US dollars, a budget planner for student life in Korea, a phrase book of common Korean expressions, a navigation page that links to often-used Korean services, and a section with travel and lifestyle notes about Korea. A live version is hosted on Vercel, and the README links to both the public site and the open source repository. On the technical side, the project is built with Next.js using the App Router, written in TypeScript, and styled with Tailwind CSS. The data, such as the word lists, phrases, links, and currency entries, is kept as static TypeScript files in the repo. Personal learning progress is saved in the browser using localStorage, so there is no server-side account system. The README also gives a short folder map, showing where the page routes, UI components, data files, helper libraries, and TypeScript types live. To run it on a developer's own machine, the instructions are to install with npm, start the dev server, and open localhost on port 3000. The author invites contributions of words, phrases, links, and UI improvements, and asks contributors to avoid submitting copyrighted or commercial material. A disclaimer notes that the content is for study and life reference only and is not legal, financial, visa, or study-abroad advice.
