Great feedback, thanks a lot!

Very cool! I really need to work on my mobile development skills.

Thanks for trying! I have been using Duolingo as well and I definitely am considering to add more click-based games.

There was a small problem with the redirect after registration, but it should now be fixed. Thanks for trying!

We have been told that it might be normal to tell the time like that from an analog clock in places where precision matters (like train stations or airports). As a beginner, this is how we started to learn it as well in the course I am taking. I think it makes your brain work harder by making it do more processing (you need to interpret the clock + the numbers, whereas a digital clock simply gives the number to you, so less mental processing is needed). I see where you are coming from, but it helps me with my learning and coursework.

So, in that particular game, I wanted to match a substring, since my data source includes some responses written as "let/allow" or "drive (vehicle)", which isn't realistic to expect the user to type. So, I just figured I would quickly work around that by allowing a substring match. However, I didn't really think about the edge cases all that much.

I am going to the course at the same time and live in a German-speaking country. So, I am able to contextualize and cross-reference my learnings.

That's a good catch! Thanks for reporting.

oooo, good to know!

I lived in Canada, Germany, and Switzerland. In my experience, Canadians and Swiss are really nice on average; however, my experience with Germans has generally been on the margins. They have either been very rude or super friendly. I guess that’s what you get when people simply speak their mind.

Thanks for the correction! That's good to know. I also noticed it isn't dreizig but dreissig, whereas it is vierzig (and not vierssig). I have to double-check whether it is my source that's wrong or just another exception to memorize.

Thanks! I definitely want to implement it as well to also make it more mobile-friendly

I am a beginner to the language, and it is helping me remember the artikels and learn new words.

Yep, I definitely leveraged AI when building it; however, it is still built by me. So far it is a weekend project, not meant to be a production-grade app with polish.

That's a really good recommendation! Also, a great excuse to spend more time gaming.

I think it is fair to call it more practice than learning. I hope to add more games in the future that focus on the learning aspect of things. However, as a beginner, I still find that it helps me learn new words. If I continuously make the same mistake and receive feedback on my answer, it eventually makes me learn what is correct.

Yep, I noticed AI is terrible with words on images, and that seems to have slipped my attention. Thanks for the callout! I tried to keep the number games tamed by only going up to 3 digits.

Fair enough! I should try to introduce other options that are more game-like.

The intention with that game was to pick the artikels for the singular form of the words. I am a complete beginner in German, but I thought the artikel for plurals is always 'die'. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of exceptions to that rule. As for Geschwister, yep, that seems wrong. I will fix it!

I am still happy to hear from a fellow user! Feel free to ping me if you ever have feature recommendations or suggestions.

Hey there! Thanks for mentioning Heuristica. I would love to find out how to make the free plan for Heuristica to be more permissive (without destroying the incentive to subscribe for willing users). Feel free to send me your suggestions.

At one point, I also worked on making it work with a personal API key. However, this added a lot of complexity. It felt like I was building and maintaining two separate branches of the same app, so I had to put the idea on hold. I might revisit it in the future.

I have been working on Heuristica for the last 1.5 years, which pays for my rent. It is a subscription-based, AI-powered concept mapping tool that helps visualize learning and research.

As I started to make money, I was able to start hiring freelancers to help with certain aspects of the site, like the design, SEO, and some independent coding tasks. It is rewarding, but due to the pace of developments in the AI space, it feels like I need to improve the product constantly to remain competitive, which can get a bit burdensome.

I learned about Vacuous Truth the hard way recently when I found out that `every` method in JavaScript returns `true` for empty arrays as well.

Daemon series by Daniel Suarez: I can’t believe I slept on this book for so long. It would have altered my worldview fundamentally if I had read it at a younger age.

Mind Hunter: Somehow even better than the show.

A Brief History of Intelligence: Packed with so much knowledge about the evolution, mechanics, and different forms of intelligence. One of the best non-fiction books I have read in a long time.

This thread is not about Ray-Ban glasses but their new AR glasses.

Yep, Markdown and Image exports are currently supported. Feel free to let me know what you think of it!

I built Heuristica for learning and research using concept maps powered by LLMs. It is a different kind of interface for using LLMs. Instead of having linear conversations, you can have visual explorations that let you structure, organize, and retain knowledge much better.

I have been working on it on the side for the last 17 months.
