VocabReminder

VocabReminder help you acquire, not learn, languages

What it does

Problem: Language learners do not want to cram a list of words that is unrelevant to their daily life.

Example: you're a native English speaker learning Chinese, you want to memorize "山顶" = "summit". When you see a related word to "山顶" such as "ascend", a note shows up: ""Ascend" means to go up, like reaching the ‘山顶’(summit).""

    I'm Tim. I speak German, English, French, Turkish, and Chinese. I learned Turkish with lairner itself -- after I built it. That's the best proof I can give you that this thing actually works. The other four I learned the hard way: talking to people, making mistakes, reading things I actually cared about, and being surrounded by the language until my brain gave in. Every language app I tried got the same thing wrong: they teach you to pass exercises, not to speak. You finish a lesson, you get your dopamine hit, you maintain your streak, and six months later you still can't order food in the…

    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.
