We actually have a beta going on right now for Cantonese, so Japanese would be the next language after that. With the Cantonese version, we incorporate additional filters that allow you to leverage what you might already know from Mandarin

Thanks for your feedback! I will definitely consider a way we could batch the marking of characters and words as known once you are through the onboarding. I am not sure if you've already set up an account or not, but I should mention

I have experienced a lot of frustration trying to set up ngrok in the past, so this looks very interesting! I will have to try it out soon! Thanks for sharing!

There's something about this that is really interesting. I would be interested to see this as a Chrome extension that takes over your browser at specified times for you to schedule meditation throughout the day. The Momentum Chrome Ext

Excellent work! You're probably already aware but I figured I would provide feedback in case not. Almost all of the clips would play for a few seconds, pause, and then start again from the beginning; they would play through to the end

I really like this idea. I felt a real desire to want to be good at it so it was definitely addictive haha. In keeping with the score idea already mentioned, it might be cool to display a high score streak of correct answers amongst all use

Great work! I just downloaded the app and was testing it out. I like the way the onboarding is down with a gentle suggestion of what to do first without locking the user out of parts of the app. I believe users should be able to explore as
