I am bootstrapping a video-based Duolingo competitor

Seedlang teaches languages through video flashcards in a way that is fun and effective.

I am bootstrapping a video-based Duolingo competitor launched on June 10, 2018 with 33 votes, #748 of 2,653 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

In plain words

Seedlang is a language learning application that uses video flashcards to teach users new languages. The platform combines visual and audio learning methods to help students absorb vocabulary and grammar concepts. It is designed for language learners of all levels who prefer video-based instruction over traditional methods. The app focuses on making language acquisition accessible and engaging through its flashcard approach.

    Hi HN, I watch A LOT of educational YouTube videos but wasn't forgetting a good chunk of the details because I was only really passively watching. So I made a tool that generates quiz questions/flashcards from YouTube videos, and uses spaced repetition like Anki or Duolingo to keep it in memory. Let me know if you find it cool/useful (or terrible ) or if you want to know a bit about the details!
