One thing I noticed is that it shows ก็ as low tone, even though I’m pretty sure it is falling tone. Maybe because it’s a weird one because there is no vowel and ก is low class right? I don’t know if there are other exceptions like this

Great catch! You're right that it's a falling tone, but ก is actually a mid-class consonant. My app's engine strictly follows the standard reading rules, so it saw a mid-class consonant with a short vowel, treated it as a dead syllable, and calculated a Low tone. ก็ is a classic exception! I'll be adding a hardcoded dictionary for rule-breakers like this in the next update. Thanks so much for testing it out and letting me know!

I only get one Thai example - there doesn't seem to be a "Next" button. Other people seem to be seeing different sentences.

I would say that the redone tone rules page still has quite a few issues - there are examples of x tone that aren't actually x tone (and aren't coloured as if they were), one of the tables gets the rules for dead syllables without tone marks wrong, the section headings don't seem to be accurate (one says tone marks override class, a partial table has a heading like "the full rules"), some of the exceptions aren't exceptions (ค่ะ, for example)...

This is great, but any way you can link to a dictionary because พรุ่งนี้ is considered as 2 separate words for example.

Is this born out of a fear of transliteration then? I mean, transliteration already gives you the tone of each syllable so the only difference with the colour coding is that you don't have to look at any Latin characters.
