Zhong Chinese

What it does

Zhong Chinese is the first language learning app that focuses exclusively on Traditional Chinese Mandarin as it is spoken and used in Taiwan. Through the use of leading technology such as FSRS to schedule tailored workloads for every user, along with reading and writing practice, Zhong offers a complete learning platform with a simple, pay once price tag. No subscriptions, no dopamine hooks, just well-built, serious tools for serious learners.

An independent Traditional Chinese app for Taiwan Mandarin. FSRS-powered flashcards, TOCFL-aligned prep, and original reading practice tailored to your level. Start free — no credit card.

First 5 lessons and flashcards for free. No credit card required. While other apps waste your time with random reviews, we use FSRS to show you each character exactly when you need it. We catch characters right before you forget them—so every review actually strengthens your memory. Struggling with 餐? We'll schedule it more often. Already nailed 中? We'll give you a break. As characters stick, we space them weeks or months apart. No grinding through cards you already know. Multiple-choice drills test passive recognition. True literacy requires active production. Practice every stroke with real-time feedback in Guided Mode, or test yourself on a blank grid in Full Recall Mode. Follow animated…from zhongchinese.com

  A Japanese learning app focused on efficient vocab/grammar acquisition2022 · lessons.nihongo-app.com · ▲161

  Hey HN, it’s been 8 years since I posted on here about the launch of my Japanese dictionary app Nihongo [0] and I’m finally back with a new app: Nihongo Lessons! Think of Nihongo Lessons as the textbook to Nihongo’s dictionary. It’s an app for learning Japanese, specifically made for learners who are serious about becoming fluent, and want a guided set of content that will help them efficiently acquire vocabulary and grammar. The project came about when Adam Shapiro of Japanese Level Up (Jalup) [1] announced last April that he was shutting Jalup down. As a fan of Adam’s work I was bummed to…

  I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s▲2,935

  I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

  Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)▲1,033

  Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer▲937

  A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

  OpenSEO▲928

  Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
