Show HN: Phrasing – learn every language, to any level

Today I'm sharing a demo of my our language learning tool, Phrasing. It's a tool born from the language acquisition hypothesis, too many hours in an anki slog, and a strange desire to always be learning obscure languages.

The method is simple:

1. type in a show

2. learn the most important words

3. watch the show/acquire the words

4. review the words when needed in the future.

On top of that, we're trying to:

- do some novel things with spaced repetition (no more anki slog)

- expand the sort of content you can learn from (I want to to refresh my French by reading The Stormlight Archive)

- make an insanely beautiful tool for all languages (I want to learn Sanskrit and Hawaiian and such)

I think we're off to a great start so far, and I'm happy to be able to share what we have already! We've taken some of our core features, and ripped them out to put them on a playground for HN to explore. There's so much more to come though, this is just the beginning.

I'll be here all day to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out and have a wonderful day EDIT: This link was meant as a demo so hacker news has something to click around on (as per the rules of Show HN). The main marketing page can be found at https://phrasing.app/ - I think that's causing some confusion

EDIT: was able to confirm that my supabase instance can't connect to the auth service at the moment. 99% uptime but of course the 1% downtime is when you launch ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I doubt you will get many conversions based on current landing page.

OP I clicked on the text and bunch of tags popped up. I wasn't sure what those tags are or what I am supposed to do after that.

I had very good results many years ago polishing the last steps of my French while in France. My tutor used very novel and interesting short articles, one example was a short article about shrimp found in a cave with no light. At the time this was a novel bit of information and quite interesting on its own. I think an effort to find novel and educational information to learn from is an effort well worth the time.

Please add Albanian. I should learn this language but I am not motivated enough. I would definitely give your tool a proper test run.
