#62Just a small comment: The textarea has a white background and almost white text for me on iOS (dark mode), so it's not readable at all there.

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
If a European language gained a new everyday word in the last fifty years, there’s a solid chance that it’s a loan word from English. A little odd to learn a “foreign” language filled with that stuff.
With Scandinavian languages it went full circle, there are lots of everyday English words stemming from old Norse :)
yes, a lot indeed. Even some very rare adoptions that almost never happen in languages (like the pronoun they). My most favorite has to be window though from the Old Norse vindauga (vind = wind, auga = eye).

Same on macOS (dark mode).

#65Me and my wife made something very similar (https://nativi.sh/). I find it's a really good use case for LLMs to actually help you learn rather than doing everything for you.
Also, not sure if you're getting hugged to death but I'm getting this in the interface but not seeing any network failures.

#66What is the difference between this and using something like a ChatGPT project and giving it the same pre-set instructions?

#67I really hate the term “expat”
Expatriate used to precisely mean someone on a mission from their company to a foreign office of that company. Those that use the term to reflect the fact they emigrated conveniently paint themselves bright-white. Kudos for the cosmopolitan courage, but please do learn a bit more...

#68First, I applaud you building something and encourage it.
Next, I want to say I don’t understand these llm “apps”. I tried this in ChatGPT with the minimal prompt (that you can keyboard shortcut) “fill in curly” and it gave me exactly the correct full sentence plus even better alternatives.
Why would I use a separate app?
In general why would I use any of these separate apps vs my included ChatGPT that I’ll have a button away with included unlimited subscription

#69A long time ago, before SEO spam, I would Google parts of what I had written phrase by phrase (with proper nouns removed or generalized) and if the number of results was under a certain threshold, I'd assume I was wrong.
I found https://ludwig.guru to be a good replacement for that. But, yes, Google sucked a lot less back then & you even got relevant & longer search suggestions. Someone had to 'fix' that. Everything for the bottom line.

It's not about whether you'd use it or not. It's just so that people have something to build, managers have tasks to distribute, and the machine can keep on turning.
