Sure. I'll show something. I'm working on an app to help teach myself french. I work at a busy startup so I only have a few hours to spare here and there, but I've managed to make an app that works very well for me, mainly because of the help I receive from Claude Code. I can't make the github repo public because it contains some copyright material [^1]. but maybe I'll make a censored version public if there's interest. It's at https://yap.town .

[^1]: to be clear, nothing in the frontend is copyrighted. I use some copyrighted works to figure out how common various words are, which I need because I wanted the app to teach the most common words first.

Edit: the site uses the FileSystemWritableFileStream API, so Safari/iOS users will need Safari 26.

I should have mentioned. The site uses the FileSystemWritableFileStream API, so Safari/iOS users will need Safari 26.

Site is stuck on "checking browser support".

There should be a better UX for users on unsupported browsers now.
