Kanji Alive is an online Kanji dictionary and blog from the University of Chicago. It is meant to give an overview for learners of many levels insights into Kanji history, readings and stroke order of the Joyo Kanji.

What
Kanji alive is an active dictionary service and older blog. Thats really it on a surface level gleaning.
Blog directory - Good for looking at cultural aspects of how Kanji and the dictionary came to be, includes some nice resources on the history of the sociolinguistics of Kanji as Ateji from mainland Asia.
Resources - Where you can find any of the sociolinguistic info and PDF's. Also addresses the origins of Radicals and Kanji seperately. 214 kanji radicals is pretty extensive in this sense and has a full list and yes it is available from Wikipedia too, but this is all in one place from researchers and might be easier to mine for Anki.
Dictionary - Dictionary itself has easy and advanced search and is Genki compatible. I dont recommend Genki, but many people have that textbook. You start with the Kanji itself, the English meaning/s, the sound and native japanese readings of On and Kun yomi, then the Radical along with Radical history and stories. You then get the number of strokes, grade, other popular textbooks, deadlinks to 'Luminous', you can just use https://tatoeba.org/en/ though to replace this function and even Hints, which function like Hiesigs RTK mnemonic system.
You can also click on "Info" to find the user guide.
