zakokor··on Tell HN: Happy New Year
Feliz y próspero año para todos desde Colombia!
zakokor··on Show HN: I'm making an open-source platform for learning Japanese
I think the concern about forming bad habits is real, but avoiding any writing until you’re “ready” can delay fluency.

Something that worked for me was limiting it: just 65 words a day in the target language. It forces you to think, but the risk of fossilizing mistakes is low because it’s short.

I even built a little site for this (65words.com) and it’s been fun seeing others use it. Curious if Japanese learners here think this approach makes sense.

zakokor··on Happy New Year 2025
Feliz año 2025! Por más años para este sitio!
zakokor··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
I've been working on https://65words.com by myself for 6 months.

65 Words is an anonymous challenge to write 65+ words daily in the language you're learning.

The real focus isn't just on improving your writing but on having the opportunity to think about how you'd express something without the pressure of the moment.

There's no hidden science behind choosing 65 words. I found it’s achievable even on a very busy day.

The goal is to help learners practice daily and build confidence through consistent effort.

In the past, I built Pegao.co, a bookmark to share public lists of links, but I've shut it down.

zakokor··on Show HN: I made a simple platform to buy/sell side projects
Good job! Looks great.
zakokor··on Ask HN: Your admittedly useless side projects?
I built Pegao[1] as an open source side project, which is a web aggregator or bookmark to group links into lists trying to solve my own problem: I had many tabs open on my phone. It didn't work, but I actually use it to remember some links or tools that I know I'll use for upcoming projects.

zakokor··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2022)
Hey, I'm building https://jobfor.ms and it's at an early stage. I was wondering if you would be interested in sharing your job postings with a short link to your job application form that you could create with a single click.
zakokor··on Tell HN: 3 years of running a minimal blogging platform
Agree! Great project!
zakokor··on How I centralize and distribute my bookmarks
In 2019 I built my own bookmark while learn Reactjs, I launched it as open source and I still use it even though I am the only active user. This is an example with my profile: https://pegao.co/@zakokor
zakokor··on Ask HN: Who wants to collaborate?
In 2019 I was building in a side project, an oss platform to make your bookmark links public while I was learning React, but I lost my job and I had to stop. This year, I would love to start again with this project and I would love to get help and feedback. Repo:https://github.com/zakokor/pegao Thanks
zakokor··on Ask HN: Do you like to work solo or with someone else on your side projects?
I like to work solo and with someone else, but usually it's difficult get someone that work with pasión overall when there is not a secure salary or earnings.
zakokor··on Show HN: Reclist.me – Share your favorite books, podcasts, newsletters
Hi, this is my list https://pegao.co/@zakokor
zakokor··on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
I built a web to basically temporarily save information that I found on the Internet and avoid keeping the links open on my cell phone to remember them, and I thought that it could be valuable for others to find that information curated in the form of link lists ... surely there was already something it would help me but I decided to build it to release it as open source and that could be improved by the community. Repo: https://github.com/zakokor/pegao My public bookmark: https://pegao.co/@zakokor
zakokor··on Show HN: LinkAce – Self-hosted, FOSS bookmark archive
I wrote Pegao last year to save and publish my own links organized in lists so that it would serve as a blog of links for others who might be looking for information on a topic and I released it as open source. This is the link to my profile https://pegao.co/@zakokor
zakokor··on Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?
I built https://pegao.co (to learn Django and React) an open source tool for save my temporary links and I added a donation button but honestly I'm the only active user.
