Now that there's an abundance of it available, and that too including good free and paid options.

I've been building one for SwifUI but added 10x more value to it with various offerings.

Still, it feels like a challenge in marketing it.

Sure thing, I will take a look into that. And do share your feedback after exploring the app. Much appreciated!
vaibhavthevedi··on Made an app that actually helps to PRACTICE a language
Thank you, mate. Because it is in an early stage, it is based on text conversations aka chats for now. Vocal conversations is something I am definitely interested in & might explore soon.

I’ve spent countless hours on language apps, only to realize I couldn’t string a sentence together when it mattered. Most apps focus on learning, not speaking.

Since nobody was making this, I decided to make this myself.

Called https://www.kataru.app/, I made it focused on geting you to do conversations in your target language. Think of it as a language gym - focused on practice, not theory.

I'm looking for early feedback to help me make it even better. If you're tired of traditional language learning and ready for a new approach, give it a go!

If you are a curious mind, do take a look. There are no charges to join!

vaibhavthevedi··on Show HN: A Chrome extension to burst your filter bubble
While I addressed the issue in general and around what the impact it is causing, I can tell you a couple of things which you can attempt to mitigate your biases:-

First of all, Do you research manually. Don't stay on Twitter only for your source of news. Having multiple sources will help you in establishment of truth. The best part? The extension mentioned by the OP can actually be very helpful!

Secondly, Remember that it is all about the perspective. It is NOT necessary that the way you see things is the SAME as how I see things.

There is a difference between Data and Information, Because not every time, All the data will be informational.

You can read the article here - https://thevediwho.me/blog/data-data-and-more-data . I am not an expert but I do have a certification in social psychology. I hope this helps you.

vaibhavthevedi··on Show HN: A Chrome extension to burst your filter bubble
Ooh, An extension revolving around biases and psychology! Always in for it.

I literally wrote an article on how so much data on internet affects our mind and sometimes, can make us biased.

Such tool, like your extension, can be very helpful.

It seems they are cutting down on a lot of services.

vaibhavthevedi··on Ask HN: What startup/technology is on your 'to watch' list?
I had hopes with MagicLeap but then it's going through a roller coaster ride. Still they are on my "to watch" list.

Things like Apple AR glass leak makes me hooked to AR and VR.

vaibhavthevedi··on Ask HN: Is there demand for private communities that discuss IT (and life)?
Well, if it turns out to be "just another community" then that won't interest me or most of the people, imo.

If it is around a specific niche, then it's a different thing.

vaibhavthevedi··on Ask HN: Now we're staying inside with Wi-Fi, have you changed your cell plan?
Even though I am 99% using the WiFi, I have to stay on a plan in my mobile just to receive and make calls. As people still prefer normal calling than using internet based calling features.
vaibhavthevedi··on What Peak Hello World Looks Like
My reaction to the code mentioned was similar to the favicon image :)
vaibhavthevedi··on 60-80 Hours/Week
I am part of a startup and I can tell you one thing from what I have seen the "CEO" and the people are doing in it. Everyone seems to put all in the effort and everything but generally, the output generation is low. What I mean is, the 80/20 rule applies here a lot. In startups, I have found that it is more about doing experiments and doing them rapidly.

You should take a look at what they are producing and what their current revenue is. That should give you an idea, if putting 80+ hours is REALLY helping them or not?

vaibhavthevedi··on Ask HN: What is your learning strategy?
I can tell you only a couple of things. See, It can get overwhelming very quickly and it expands in deep as much as deep you go in technology.

You should rather focus on what you NEED to learn, don't get caught in imposter syndrome. Because you mentioned you have a full-time job already, You only have a limited time. Juggling and switching into lot of things will affect your productivity.

For me, I evaluate first what I want to do and then search the technology available around it. Then, I make a list of what I need to learn and I start with one, gradually.
