I'm working on a Dutch dictionary for immersion learning; https://hetnederlands.com. Structured outputs combined with react router renders a chain of thought on demand. With most "learners dictionaries", you're limited to the basic words. This enables getting a perfectly laid out learners dictionary explanation of any word in the entire language.

A learners dictionary for Dutch https://hetnederlands.com

Learn Dutch through immersion, look up any word and get lots of examples in very simple Dutch.

Just having a lot of fun playing around with LLMs and language learning basically.

just pure o4 mini in a sequence of prompts. I haven't done any fine-tuning or involved any dict api (yet), but the accuracy/quality can definitely be improved from there.

For dutch, I would use something like van dale or woordenlijst (het groene boekje), both have free online versions.

I love this idea!! I'm working on Dutch learning as well and made a learners immersion dictionary for it;

So going by the screenshot in the readme where you have vaststellen; https://hetnederlands.com/dictionary/vaststellen

So what happens when I buy more of a stock? I need to go update my wealthfolio right?

How does it do with pension accounts, mutual funds and various other things that may be difficult to add using a major exchange ticker?

I have done the building in quite a few of these.

Often what happens is that the engineering that made it a cool demo in the beginning, is pushed aside, and once funding and a variety of product managers and sales people start chiming in, users and genuine value proposition is forgotten in favor of things that sound huge for the business, in theory. Not seen it materialize in practice yet.
