Wordwise▲114Hey HN, While learning Danish, I kept translating the same words over and over. I’d take notes, highlight books, save things in random places… then lose track of it all. I wanted something simple. Translate a word, save it with context, and review it later so it actually sticks. Nothing I found really did that.

Hey HN, Over the past 6 months, I've been working on a Spanish language learning app that generates stories for you with your target words.
