Q: What is the french word for color Yellow?

A: Juane

It should be Jaune, just a small typo.

The different games are very clean and function as I would have imagined. Nice job! Can you describe your tech stack?

theres not much to it really, a jquery powered script onto a static html page, backed by a PHP api to load questions, coloured in by Materialize CSS to make it look nice. server site there's really nothing to it, just a linux, nginx, mysql php setup :)

That's really nice! Do you plan to support translations, and if so how could people contribute submitting them?

There are a couple of things you could consider around submitting question series that could make it perfect for teacher lead quizes in class, too - happy to help with a few ideas if you were looking on expanding in that direction.

hmm part of this got lost!

I'm aiming for this to be used as a study aid with possible classroom aspects, so always looking for feedback, especially from teachers / other educators :)
