thanks for checking it out! I have been considering various flows to keep people more engaged (there are currently challenges, smart flash cards, and achievements) but at the moment the app promotes "active" learning, and I want to be careful not to introduce anything introduces "passive" learning learning paths like you might find on other apps where you don't really need to think or fully engage. My thinking at the moment is that I'd rather a user just learn something once and never come back than return every day and learn nothing..

I'm also learning a language and decided to use that as a pretext to see what I can get out of agents without coding[1].

It all depends on your goals but I've had similar thoughts and I decided I'm just making opinionated tool for myself that I'm perfectly fine with never making public. Since deciding on such path I think I actually moved closer to something that may be useful to others (but I'm still staying on that path for now).

I don't know any online tool which would provide me which mine does, and frankly the reality nowadays seems that it could take me more to find one if it existed (testing along all those which does not quite fit, which I did), than creating a version custom tailored for myself. It's... interesting times.
