Show HN: Phrase Tutor – learn Italian via roulette wheel flashcard selection
I whipped it up to help me learn Italian using a method I used way back in high school to faster retain historical facts. It has a pool of 100ish phrases and after you go through them all at least once, it will start prioritising phrases that you had trouble with. This way you are focusing on the toughest phrases more. This is kinda like roulette wheel selection used often with genetic algorithms.
I wanted to blend in when I was in Italy and not speak English all the time. I only had a week, and of course, I built an app to help with that. It was awesome saying "Mi scusi" all the time and at some point, they helped us to find our way when our phones died!
It's built using a full-stack framework I'm also developing called Wasp (http://wasp-lang.dev) and I rebuilt it from Supabase to Wasp when I joined the company.
