#294I vibe coded the above including everything: code, design, logos. Just did it solo. It has all error handling, video generation notifications (it takes a while) and credit system. I myself can't believe it's been done in a month with AI. It's already in closed beta in iOS and android app stores. Let me know if you want to try it out before public release.
My quoted comment above was 28 days ago. This is working on this part time and with a family.
EDIT: Added context.

#296Some things I'm planning on including: - App drag & drop for assignment. - Programmable macro buttons. - Small OLED displays to show app icon and volume levels.
Attempting to do everything in Rust too, even the MCU firmware. It's been a lot of fun. xD

#300I have been working on http://phrasing.app - a language learning & acquisition tool for polyglots. I’ve been using it to study ~12 languages (5 on maintaince, 2 seriously studying, 5 casually “studying”) and it’s starting to feel really good. If anyone is learning/maintaining several languages, please reach out! I’m looking for beta testers in as many languages as possible (it supports 120+). In what I believe is sti…
I was quite eager to check this out. As some polite feedback, a few things turned me off quite strongly: 1. I want to get confirmation that the language I want is covered (Hungarian). "120+" doesn't confirm it for me, as Hungarian seems fairly rare for language apps. Can we not just have a "search your language" field? 2. I need to see what the app actually looks like, how it proposes it'll teach me. I'm one of the e…
1. I just started the marketing website a few weeks ago, and if you can believe it, I didn't readily have that information. One of my tasks last week was to compile a list of languages that could work, write some tests for all of the languages, and get a list of supported languages. I have that list now, I just need to put it on the marketing page.
2. As mentioned in other comments, I'm working on a video. I'm preferring to fix glaring issues before making the video, although at this point I'm verrrrrrry close. I have started scripting it, but it takes a lot of time to make a good video (1-2 full days if I don't want to edit it).
Your feedback is completely valid, and they're both reasons why I'm not really marketing the product yet. This thread seemed like a good middle ground though as having some people using all the languages would be really helpful. Also, I've genuinely been loving using it and want to share.
It's just me working on it, so these things are coming, but everything takes a while! Hopefully these didn't sour you on the project permanently :)
EDIT: And yes, it supports Hungarian :)
