I've been learning Japanese for just over a year now, and its a community that might have the highest concentration of amazing free learning apps with sentence mining capabilities, many of which do things very similarly to what you're building. Have you tried some of these?

asbplayer Manatan Yomine Anki Miner AnimeCards Nagare

These are just for video, there are other similar solutions for games, manga and ebooks, and some of them are all in one

I've only heard of asbplayer and Anki miner before, the others I haven't. It's a great space tbh, people are building all the time. For me specifically it's about trying to serve all languages to the best of my ability, alot of the ones I've come across only focus on Japanese or a small selection of languages. Also I think there's scope to improve UX and reducing friction for non tech savvy people

In my experience, apps for learning japanese is a hugely saturated niche because the venn diagram of people learning japanese and people who like building software is a circle
