Before I built Nihongo, I used to use Imiwa as my Japanese dictionary, and Flashcards Deluxe for spaced repetition studying. I built this ridiculously convoluted setup where I would upload a list of words from Imiwa to dropbox, my laptop at home would detect a new file in my dropbox and run a script to convert the format to the one supported by Flashcards Deluxe, and then I'd open up Flashcards Deluxe and download the deck from dropbox. I told someone about this, and they said "man, wouldn't it be awesome if there were a Japanese app that could just do that automatically?" And thus, Nihongo was born. =)
So KerrickStaley, wouldn't it be awesome if there were a Chinese app that could just do that automatically? =p
- KerrickStaley 11y agoYou're giving me ideas :P The problem is that I don't have time to build a monolithic app that serves as both a good Chinese dictionary and a good flashcard app; it's much easier to cobble together a system using existing software.
