In plain words

Lexie is a tamagotchi-style game that helps users learn French through daily practice. The virtual character grows and evolves as players answer language questions correctly, with a focus on tricky concepts like French numbers. The game works entirely offline without ads, offers French for free, and allows unlocking additional languages through a one-time purchase. It emphasizes low-pressure learning by avoiding penalties for wrong answers or missed days.

    Glossarie – a new, immersive way to learn a language2024 · glossarie.app · ▲363

    Hi HN, For over two years I've been working on an App to learn languages (currently French, Italian and Spanish), together with my partner, a language teacher. I think it is finally ready to share with this community! The idea is to introduce vocabulary and grammar whilst you read eBooks in your own language. I've found that it is easier to remember vocabulary 'in context' and with regular repetition. Plus you don't have to carve out dedicated time for language learning.

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
