<p>This is very fun. Having just tried it with my maybe tone deaf partner, she showed progress when she sang at the same time as the notes. It might be good if there was like a faster looped version where the notes would play more frequently.</p>

<p>Having just tested my app with very niche online groups, friends and cold messaging some people who I thought might have wanted what I'm building, and getting almost no response - my advice would be to burst that bubble early. As a general rule, no one cares what you're building anymore - just look at this thread.</p>

<p>The biggest problem with Duolingo is not just the spaced repetition but the entire curriculum is random, imprecise and felt like slop long before LLMs (with the exception of stories I guess). By random I mean it's just like reading a series of disconnected sentences with some common features. There's no anchor.<p>For Spanish for example, compared to spanishdict.com course which is a similar format but has a defined length and doesn't encourage you to continue indefinitely, is much more precise, follows a practical story arc - introducing yourself at school, how did you get to school, going on vacation with family etc etc. It jumps from location to location each unit and explains regional differences in grammar/vocab.</p>

<p>I think stories are a good approach, although there's something grating about the voice / monotony after 1-2 stories. Have you thought about narrating yourself?</p>

<p>V cool. Works in ff on mac for me. Maybe vibe coded but it's a spectrum. Probably in need of a bit of polish and a better performing example & maybe resolution switching. Basement Studio is legit I have bought their fonts in the past.<p>Floating windows are a little pointless but aesthetic choice or a one shot ui. FPS would be nice, also distinction between canvas and void. Video export works great.</p>

<p>Last week I wrote the spec for a couple of vanilla JS <a href="https://danielgormly.github.io/primavera-ui/dnd/" rel="nofollow">https://danielgormly.github.io/primavera-ui/dnd/</a> that I've handwritten in the past. I used the spec to vibecode them + a few follow-up correction prompts. Honestly the robot did a better job of implementation than I would have. Just can't compete with the speed.<p>Very early days but will keep updating them & adding more.</p>

<p>The man himself. Yeah agreed you guys have solved it. It is more a misfired crud dev instinct for me that sees it as wasteful. Just a different paradigm and not big in practice.<p>I've got eg-walker & Diamond Types in my reading/youtube backlog. Diamond Types went further down the backlog because of "wip" on the repo! I will look into Antimatter too.</p>

<p>I've spent a lot of time studying CRDTs & order theory in the last year & will publish an article too. Local-first apps are not easy to build, complex data structures (say, calendar repetitions with exceptions) become harder to model. Everything must converge automatically while clients can branch off.<p>In general, you don't really get to compact tombstones meaningfully without consensus so you really are pushing at least remnants of the entire log around to each client indefinitely. You also can't easily upgrade your db you're stuck looking after legacy data structures indefinitely - or you have to impose arbitrary cut off points.<p>List CRDTs - which text CRDTs are built from are probably unavoidable except for really really simple applications. Over the last 15 years they have evolved, roughly: WOOT (paper) -> RGA (paper) -> YATA (paper) / YJS (js + later rust port) -> Peritext (paper) / Automerge (rust/js/swift) -> Loro (Rust/js). Cola (rust) is another recent one. The big libs (yjs, automerge, loro) offer full doc models.<p>Mostly the later ones improve on space, time & intent capture (not interleaving concurrent requests).<p>The same few guys (Martin Kleppman, Kevin Jahns, Joseph Gentle, probably others) pop up all over the more recent optimisations.</p>

<p>I was being a little facetious. Yes they probably "like" processed insect food designed for them, but for the average dog, I'm still betting on the steak.<p>Wolves scavenge opportunistically, but they are first apex predators. Their primary food drive is to hunt in packs for large game and gorge. Dogs are not so far removed.</p>
