It changes your relationship to objects for sure. I see something cool in a store and my first thought is "ooof but that looks heavy".

Just playing with your app for a bit, and it's pretty cool! had a few questions though:

1. Wondering about the decision of using English books and translating pieces into other languages vs starting with (for example) a Spanish book, and translating the other way? Also, would something like this be a future thought of plan? Because currently I'm trying to read more popular books in my target language, rather than English books (right now, my toy app is just highlight arbitrary text -> send to azure translate). I tried to upload my book into your app in Spanish, but I guess it only works rn if the source is in English? Basically, a mode for even more immersion would be killer (Ala either full-target-languge mode or upload target language books).

2. The practice mode is pretty cool! I like this format of "complete the sentence". It looks like it's not based on book content at all, right? Would be cool to practice based on what I'm reading.

3. I'm reading on an e-reader, so I'd reeeeally like a no-animation/no-scroll mode. On an e-reader, the paginated page refreshing can help to reduce ghosting. Even better if there could be an e-reader mode that can flash the screen to further reduce ghosting issues on those devices.

I was wondering what other kinds of similar projects people have seen?

I've been using my own homebrewed toml spec, but since I am more experienced with code than training, I was concerned if it would still work well as I become more experienced. Not sure if I'll use this, but good to see another interpretation of this kind of data!

Every little while, I try to make vscode my main editor, because I enjoy all the features. I always switch back to Sublime just because VSCode's slowness bugs me.

Haven't really tried Zed in earnest yet, though, because of no custom LSP support.

I tend to kind of dabble in a lot of languages, just to help me get around when I visit places. And I think it's quite helpful to just grind a bit of words to get some familiarity. Anki has been a great utility for that in the past, but flashcard quality between different languages tends to vary a lot! So I'm hoping that this open-source project could make things a bit easier for me.

Primarily built with Deno, with initial translations and TTS provided by Azure. This project just generates json and audio files, so I'm hoping to slowly update these over time with better audio and translations by people who know more about the languages than me. But yeah! Hopefully it's useful!

So for example, I would say that Fortnite and Genshin were AAA games from the start, and that LOL and Pubg became and have been AAA titles for years now.

But I just enjoy the speed of feeling like I can cd to any directory at any time in like... 8 keypresses (`jd 20.21` is an alias I use to cd).
