However as someone who lived in the area I want to point out that the offer is neither a scam nor a meme. There are people buying these houses (not in droves), and a few communities achieved repopulation. The 1€ offers are an expression o

Man I don't love these unspecified, context-free takes on "building software". The author lists a lot of tech stack, but no scope , no context , no size estimates about the software he's built. Now we have a thread w

Hey, in case you are still interested, here is a little explanation on the algorithm: https://koljapluemer.com/2023/09/23/arabic-numbers-sr.html

As another German living in SWAMA, I'd say this sounds correct. Additional fun fact, the locals here don't actually seem to be aware that they read numbers the other way 'round. I pointed this out to two Egyptians now, both o

Yeah, expressing that you are talking about the, eh, Arabic numbers in Arabic in a generally understandable way is pretty hard haha I don't think Arabic numbers are necessarily the hardest of all, but coming from English, they are ce

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm sort of using it as a from-scratch-learning tool myself (and I made sort of the same experience as you, after a while the first numbers start to stick) - although I definitely agree that it is

Good idea, thanks!

It's a pretty lazy version of intra-session Spaced Repetition, vaguely based on Pimsleur's original definition, with some extras to avoid boredom/frustration. Give me a day or so for a writeup then I come back to you :)

by blackbrokkoli 3y ago
Yes, you are right, and that should probably be clarified.

Thanks! That's a good idea, I'm putting it on the list.

Thank you for the feedback! Exercises including the actual script as answer or prompt should show up after a while - it's a balancing act between people who prefer actual Arabic and people being overwhelmed by it (:

That's good feedback, thank you! Sorry about the dialect, personal circumstance haha Actually, I may introduce a toggle for MSA/different dialects. Can't promise, but check back in a day ;)

Uh-oh, unintended political statement. Will look into it, thank you!

A fullscreen interface is an interesting idea, thank you! I bit my teeth on how to make this fun on mobile and small screens especially (and then gave up)...copying something like gMaps more closely may just be the move.

Glad you like it! Implementing a sort of in-session Spaced Repetition was actually one of the main foci of the project :)

Not sure if some random guy on HN using it for side projects counts as keeping it alive, but I'm giving my best.

Hard agree, I wish they would move the islands a bit further apart! No, you are absolutely right of course...I'm still figuring out how to get that working nicely...if you have any specific ideas for the UX of clicking the small island

Thanks for both your comments, very valuable! I'll put it on the TODO.

Neumorphism is funny - people either love it or hate it. No in-between. Thank you both for the input, definitely agree on the mobile UX.

Thank you for your feedback! You should be able to pan the map as well, so you may get to Estonia after all ;) Definitely forgot that not everyone has large laptop screens though, absolutely fair.
