Show HN: Learn words in a foreign language by typing I’m Brazilian and I made this tool for my brother to learn English. He’s also trying to learn the keyboard layout at the same time. So far he seems to be liking it and getting better. I manually built and open-sourced the dictionary on github, so anyone can contribute and add more languages. I’m doing that manually because I want to do that in the most easy and didactic way possible, with a very accurate translation and most used words. Ideally, in the next version, it will be using some sort of API or automated tool. I’m not sure how to make the dictionary work effectively because each description needs a very close translation (ideally as exact as possible). We’re not able to just copy words and descriptions because they won’t necessarily line up with the other language translations. We’re currently manually translating to be accurate, though ideally we can figure out a good way to scale this, if anyone has suggestions please let me know! https://ift.tt/iRsrNDY August 16, 2022 at 11:46PM

We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
