alt Hacker Newsthanks for having a look... Did you look at the actual app or just the landing page? You ask why would I post it even though it is not perfect. Well, I personally find it useful (thats why I made it). It helps me with bridging the gap between comprehension and expression. And I am curious to see if others also find it useful. I am in contact with professional translators etc but that is probably not something I would be wise to invest too heavily in if the idea itself is not interesting to other people.

i went in it with good faith, started the webapp with a couple languages and clicking wherever my mouse landed, quickly enough it appeared to me this was not produced in good faith and i became very critic of it ; at best i would look at it like a proof of concept you send to a team of real dev and designers to get done properly, but in the current state i would never sign in
I gave it a try, my impression is this: I’m looking at an AI generated image, and describing it based on AI generated hints, and my description is judged by an AI. The UI is fairly janky on my phone and not very appealing, though I like how it places the hints over the picture.
The fact that it’s all genAI stuff puts me off, but that might not be the same for everyone.
I think crucially, if I wanted to do this kind of challenge, I would have a better experience just using an LLM chat directly, like “Generate me an image, then judge my description of it in <language>, and give me useful language learning hints according to my level of <level>”
