I'm actually disappointed for seeing this on techcrunch. I have a lot of friends that worked on Duolingo and some of my research with Luis went into that project. To write about a project that isn't finished and just has a landing page, however, is pretty disappointing. I don't know if I really would call it "news."

I thought it was interesting. TC writes about pre-launched startups a good amount, and given this guy's background and the interestingness of the project, seems like a good article.

They actually did get some inside scoop and prior to this link on HN I hadn't heard about it - so just because you contributed to it and it's not news to you, doesn't mean it's not news to us.

What do you think of a grammar checker that uses human computation in the style of the ESP Game? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1398 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1398
