Show HN: Lengpal – simple video chat for language exchange

Hi HN,

I built a small tool called Lengpal. It’s basically a very simple video chat room made for language exchange.

Most people I know who do language exchanges just use Zoom, Meet, or Teams. It works, but those tools aren’t really designed for it. One thing that always comes up is managing the speaking time so both people get equal practice.

So the only thing we focused on for now is a built-in timer that lets you split the session between languages. For example 30 minutes Spanish, 30 minutes English.

The idea is intentionally simple. You create a room, send the link to your partner, and start the session. No matching, no complicated setup.

We just launched today and are trying to see if this simple approach actually helps people doing exchanges.

Would love to hear what you think.
