  Sankofa – Browser extension to semantically search your history2024 · vectara.com · ▲19

  Hey there HN! I lead Product at Vectara. Some of us read a lot of articles on the web (like those on HN) and we were desperately trying to recall the text we read -- using semantic search because we might not have remembered the exact text we read. (Or ask questions about the content -- ChatGPT style.) Sankofa is a new browser extension that can automatically index web pages you visit and let you search / ask questions about that content.

  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. Other apps require you to build a habit around various exercises or ‘games’, whereas lots of people already read books.…
