Ideally we're not creating any of the translations ourselves - although of course we support machine translation. Our goal is to turn any native (or professionally translated) material into language learning materials. We also have lot

I'm not sure if this is clear, but this is just a playground for Hacker News? The main homepage can be found at the root URL https://phrasing.app/ That being said, we've done exactly this, polished the landing pag

Honestly, I would not recommend it for Japanese/Chinese atm. We're aware the quality there is really not good. We'll have to spend a couple months dedicated to these languages specifically to clean them up. Still, we don&#x27

Hey! So the search box is part of a demo of an article we aligned. For the Playground, we just have some example content to show how it works (we wanted to share to HN but we didn't want to do so without giving people something to play

I'm not sure we entirely disagree. The idea here is to load your RAM with enough information so you can go and interact with the language, and you have enough critical 'hooks' to start to boot up your GPU. Then once you'

It's worth mentioning that this is a playground specifically for Show HN (technically I don't think you're just supposed to post landing pages for private products). The home page is a bit more 'standard'. Perhaps t

Depends on the context - yes, I do worry that language acquisition will not work for everyone in it's normal form. It takes an intense love for languages to diligently put in the work and go through the 'trough of sorrow' and

Hey, thanks so much for the kind words! Our target audience is definitely polyglots/advanced learners at the moment - mostly just due to time. We'll definitely get to the point where everything is explained - the only thing we&#x2

We will look into Albanian! We have some ideas on how to remove the language restrictions sometime this year. When it comes to educational content, one of the things I'm most excited for is to have the stuff I'm learning hooked up

Hmmm we assumed that the translations for the Paul Graham essays would have been properly translated. Someone else pointed out a French issue earlier, both the French and Spanish examples were taken from their 'official' translati

Hey thanks for the kind words! I have to also give you props back - Manabi reader is awesome, I've known the project for a while.

I believe that came from the official translation for paul graham's essay, but their site is down now and I can't confirm: https://penelope.jdsfriends.com/DWYL_francais.htm Not saying it's correct, but it&#x2

We're working on it constantly! We just released the home page last week and we've been collecting feedback on it. If you have any lingering questions you're left with after seeing the home page, please let us know. That way

The demo article only had a couple translations, so we auto-translated some missing ones. Sorry the Turkish one isn't great! Most of the app we try to encourage you to use professionally translated works to learn whichever language you

I’m primarily a safari user but spent a few months with Firefox and Brave and now recently with Arc. I always feel like whichever rendering engine I’m not using atm is lagging so far behind. To me that means realistically there’s probably a

We've got pretty similar ideas on SRS. I'm working on Phrasing.app, we use (a heavily modified version of) FSRS and have implemented a lot of what you're talking about. We just had a company retreat where we talked about new

I'm working on Phrasing.app that does just this. We originally used ebisu, but ended up (heavily) modifying our own fork of FSRS. We don't use due dates really (except for some analytics by request), but instead try to keep a user

Most people you see at a gym will probably be classified as 'overweight'. The fact of the matter is muscle is counted against you in BMI, and it takes very little to cross into the 'overweight' threshold. I would have to
