So happy that this exists, as someone learning both Mandarin, Cantonese (and Hokkien, do you think you can add POJ too? :D) Would be nice if JyutPing was also divided into colors depending on which tone a syllable has.

Nice work! I like how it can show both jyutping and pinyin while also including both traditional and simplified too. Ticks all the boxes. Extremely useful.
