#2I recently built a service (https://timetrigger.dev) that was mostly for fun and not profit. I wouldn’t say I don’t care about it per se but if it makes no money that’s ok. Hopefully it will at least get some customers though!

#6I am developing https://vocab-boost.online/ (smoke test page, extension is being reviewed in webstore). It is a Chrome extension to make language tests out of any page. I used this approach to improve my vocabular to pass German C1 exam.

Interesting product. Can't think of an immediate use for it but I'll keep it in mind.

#9https://pingtype.github.io - it helps me learn Chinese, and I'm going to keep using it even though it doesn't have any traction. Generating word spacing, pinyin, and literal translations for interesting text, rather than just homework books, is far more motivating.

This is interesting! I've never thought to test myself this way on real-world examples.
