Lingotype

The diagnostic Duolingo never gave you 🦤

Lingotype launched on May 16, 2026 with 8 votes, #1,430 of 20,538 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was not reachable when checked in September 2026.

What it does

Most people open Duolingo, pick Spanish because everyone picks Spanish, and quit in 3 weeks. Not because they're lazy — because they chose the wrong language for how they think and what they actually want. Lingotype is a 9-question diagnostic that maps your learner archetype and tells you which language you're most likely to actually stick with — and how to study it. No streaks. No gamification. One result. One plan. One-time $2.99.

    Hi! Wanted to share the project I really wanted to have. TLDR; this app lets you create your own list of words and you get a Duolingo-like experience (kind of, still needs a lot of features) practicing those words in their context. My English is not the best but not the worst either. But I realized I can't boost it up after a certain level! In my belief, in order to truly learn a language, you need to be exposed to that language often. Vocabulary is the key factor here if you really want to improve in any language. My experience is that when I read a book to improve my English vocabulary, I…

  • Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
