Would be nice to try it out without signing up. I like the landing page style; did you use a theme/template? I feel like I've seen this style on a lot of tech products -- whilst I really like it, I don't think it matches the nature of the site/product in this case. What advantages do you offer over ChatGPT, other than the text messages?

look for stripe-like designs: https://codepen.io/andreyazimov/pen/abWWeKp

prob its not gonna be free to test to avoid extra costs around chatgpt calls

What languages are supported?

Currently a number of languages are supported, including Italian, German, French, English, Korean and Danish, among many others. Is there a specific language you are looking to learn?

No. I just thought that information should be mentioned on the public-facing front page.

If you are just planning to support all of the languages that ChatGPT can respond in, then be ready for complaints, because its performance reportedly drops off sharply for less common languages.

I'm curious about Hebrew as most tools for that online are pretty lackluster.

I would use this if you supported Vietnamese as a language to learn!

Hey! Before I trust your site with my data - who are you? Your HN account seems to have been created only to present this one project. Do you have a website, or are you on Twitter or anything? Who is the legal entitiy referred to in "© 2023 LearnLingo. All rights reserved."?

Hello! I'm Callum, a solo developer based in Australia. This is my first project, though I have been lurking around HN for a while now. A privacy policy is in the works and will be put out for display ASAP.

So "No answer".

Personally, I wouldn't use something (let alone provide my credit card details) by a party that deliberately hides who they are.

What can be the reason for this approach?

Sole trader, not Ltd (or whatever the equivalent term is in Australia)?

I did that ages ago, before everyone was storing user data; these days I'd definitely suggest incorporating and getting public liability insurance, just in case a GDPR accident happens.

Best of luck, I hope you're more successful with this than I was with my adventure. :)
