Can i get your feedback on https://thehardway.app?

I tried the best I can to test specially Japanese and Chinese without speaking those languages myself.

the app uses real human content (audio and text) for the most part, so hopefully it comes natural enough. there is still some AI though



wow, this looks nice. I will download it this week to give it a go. At a first glance this looks like notion for learning languages.

I have been using Babbel, and while it's nice to have mini lesson to take each day... they offer no option to write out notes, or to look at the grammar and get some context, no extra examples and flashcard system is just awful.


thank you very much, will be happy to hear what you think!


At first glance this is well designed and something I would use. I'll have a play after work and let you know


thanks, i'd appreciate if you let me know what you think , this is still very beta


Okay I had a closer look now. Tbh I don't download anything that isn't a major brand product or open-source. I'm guessing the amount of work you put into this you're planning to monetize the app right? If so my first point of feedback would be to support either a web app or mobile app.

I really enjoy the concept behind the app focusing on subjects rather than structured lessons. I enjoy going on learning rabbit holes so this would fit me better than structured lessons.

Lastly a video or demo of the app would help as the UI is quite complex. It's not clear how I would go from importing a web page to using the cards for example.

Feel free to ping me if you have updates - happy to help support another indie dev!


Thanks!

I am the opposite, I always prefer local/offline if there is the option, I use 0 web apps.

On the video, yes, I totally need a video.

Good luck to you as well!


Just dropped in my email to try out the Japanese. I'll let you know.

I'm not really sure what to do with this -- I thought you wanted someone to take a look at some Japanese content, but I can't find any in the app/tutorial.


thanks! right, there is no content. you build your library along the way, the feedback request is about autogenerated flashcards (basically you create and import content and then it autogenerates flashcards for you)
