I'm diving back into direct kanji practice since my many years of recognition/vocab practice (and reading a few novels, daily life in Japan, etc) seems to have hit a limit, and I feel like I am forgetting more than I retain lately.
I think from experience that I cannot just rely on a recognition-only system. Even though I made some good progress with Wanikani a few years ago (roughly 35 levels), that proficiency is slipping away. I still drill a lot of new vocab with Anki, but it does not seem to be that effective for me.
So I think writing is the answer. I tried Skitter years ago and liked it, but it has been a while. I started a new trial today, but I am hoping someone with longer term experience with it can comment on how it went for them. I plan to enter my own mnemonics and use keywords from KKLC, primarily.
I'm aware that there are cheaper alternatives now like Ringotan and Jitaku, but Skitter feels a little more fleshed out and developed. I don't care about the money if it is effective.
