- If it's free, like you say here, that it's free.
- What languages does it work for?
- What's the process to start?
Things I'm curious about:
- Is this intended to be a business? How do we get surprised by this costing something or disappearing in the future?
- Can it work in the opposite direction, e.g. to help students that speak Chinese pick up targeted English vocabulary based on what they're working on?
That’s something that’s been nice about Anki. As long as I’ve got my laptop I can do reviews, even if I don’t have a connection or the internet is awful or costs money (flights, etc). It runs on everything too which has worked nicely on the Linux ultraportable I’ve dedicated to study purposes.
If anyone has articles for offline web apps I'll have a read through.
> - If it's free, like you say here, that it's free. I'm not entirely sure but no I don't think I will charge for this, unless I had expensive features users want as I'm out of pocket on this myself. Its namely something I'm hoping to learn from with marketing and foster a community around. I'm not sure where it will go as the moment its a passion project, with a wrapper such as auth that I plan to repurpose for profit in some way such as a second company or selling the code as a starter template.
- What languages does it work for? I can easily add support for others if there's requests so far these are what I added support for: Mandarin Spanish Hindi Arabic French Portuguese German Japanese Russian Italian Malay Persian Polish Greek Czech
- What's the process to start? 1. Add a word you wish to learn 2. It will generate 4 cards for that word with examples for you 3. Review the card based on your memory recall of "good" "okay" "bad" and you'll see the card based on spaced repetition more often until you have marked it as good enough times it will come up less frequently.
- Can it work in the opposite direction, e.g. to help students that speak Chinese pick up targeted English vocabulary based on what they're working on? I'm open to adding internationalization! But want to get the english app at a point I can justify the time commitment.
The bottom says: Ricotta developed by Affineur Ventures
Their website says:
> Find the Perfect Buyer or Investor. Exit on Top.
I give it a high likelyhood of enshittification, as soon as profitable
When I google that phrase it’s from an “Affinity Ventures” which is unrelated.
Affineur Ventures seems to just be a cheese themed container (hence ricotta). The website just redirects to a login screen for something called “holey triangle” https://affineur.io/
I don’t think this is a private equity side project…
