I dare you to come up with something better that has more traction. It's far too easy on HN to put other's work down - they've done fantastically well and made the world a slightly better place IMO.
- orliesaurus 7y agoOh here we go again...typical HN comment. I ain't putting them down, I am saying they have a lot of headspace to improve now that they proved their worth and valuation. Sharing ideas and feedback on startups is still the focal point of HN last time I checked.
- droithomme 7y agoSounds like an excellent opportunity for you to beat them with your own superior ideas. I look forward to your upcoming "Show HN". Good luck.
- muzani 7y agoThat's really the point of the comment. It hasn't really solved a problem, and yet it has a lot of 'traction'. It does worse than say, just picking up a kids book and a dictionary. If anything, I think it makes the world a slightly worse place. It means that someone committed to learning a language spends a lot of time on Duolingo and not something that works. They feel like they've made progress, but after weeks and months, they still can't read a label in the language. I'm saying this as someone who has been using Duolingo heavily this week and was getting frustrated at how inefficient it is.
