A bit of nostalgia. I just randomly stumbled upon this website that seems to be from another era - 1996 - pretty much the year I started to use the Internet and created my first website. Thought I would share :)
Hey HN. Being a solo founder, I decided I would write monthly updates so people can follow my journey, and I can make myself accountable on progress (if any!)
Thanks but I also have my own side projects / products, the goal with this would be to invest in something to get a decent return without all of the risk associated with creating something new!
I know of 1kprojects, Transferslot, flippa, empire flippers and FE international but it's a bit hard to sort through everything to find quality products
Hi Nadya, thanks a lot for the feedback and taking the time to test and upload screenshots, I appreciate !
About your first comment (words you know not coming back often enough) I think it's because most of the datasets I've added are too large. For Hebrew (which is the language I'm trying to learn at the moment - and why I made this website in the first place) there are smaller libraries with 30-50 words and the experience is much better. One thing I can do in the future is add ways to select smaller subsets of a dataset of just a few dozen words and just "play" with those.
1. I agree, I just implemented that
2. I had not noticed that, thanks, will improve
3. Yeah that's a tough one. It works ok for some nouns and not great for some other words / prepositions / adjectives. I plan to build something on top of it where users can say if pictures are not relevant / not helping, or they can vote on good pictures, perhaps upload or create another mnemonic. Perhaps adding exemples of sentences in context could help as well.
4. Just fixed it!
I have just implemented a non-logged in way to use the website. There are a few features that will require a login (choosing its "preferred languages" and being able to see words you already said you don't know well, basically a better algorithm for displaying the next words
I like the idea. Maybe you could leverage Songkick API to support more cities ? (I moved to Tel Aviv recently and it's really hard to spend the time to find out which concerts are worth going to)
Looks like the "app store" business model for news subscriptions... interesting. Very often I feel like I would be interested in subscribing to a media outlet but I don't want to go through a cumbersome payment process, possible issues with cancellations later on etc
Thanks, someone said pretty much the same thing to me but couldn't share the data. I'll increase the ARPU number again to reflect that, sounds like they're extremely profitable...
