Vocab Top – AI-powered vocabulary builder that helps you retain wordsAug 2026 · vocab.top · ▲18Hi HN — I built Vocab Top because I kept looking up the same words over and over and never retaining them. Dictionary definitions weren't sticking. The idea: use generative AI to surround every word with multiple memory anchors — a custom image, a mnemonic trick, example sentences, native audio, and grammatical forms — so your brain has more to hold onto. Tech stack: Next.js 16, React 19, Tailwind CSS. The AI generation uses Google Gemini and FriendliAI. Audio is Google Cloud TTS. Words are saved to local storage — no account required. The newest feature is Word Forms: when you search any…

Personalized Duolingo (kind of) for vocabulary building2025 · github.com · ▲161Hi! 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…

My buddy paulsingh and I have been working on this for a few weeks, got something up and running and wanted to show you. The problem we're solving: When you need customer service (your flight got canceled, strange fees on your bill, etc) you just want to talk to a real person. Waiting on hold wastes your time AND your concentration; you can't be coding in the zone when part of your brain is waiting for an operator. Our solution: We wanted to make it "one click" to reach a real person. How it works: You click on who you want to talk to (even a specific department, like the billing dept at…

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)
