Hey PH! After a year of learning Spanish with Duolingo I felt stuck. Theoretically I was supposed to be on B1 level. But I couldn't read or listen to anything practical. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that apps like Duolingo are the biggest scam in language learning. You can't get fluent by studying a few made up sentences. Even if they pretend to describe a real situation,...

Hey hunters & makers 🚀 I've been learning Spanish for over a year now. But struggled to find good content for improving my vocabulary and grammar. And learned very little of the culture of different Spanish speaking countries. Language learning apps like Duolingo force you into a learning track and make you memorize made up situations and content. The same happens in language learning...

Hello everyone 👋 I kept running into this problem where I'd have to copy-paste or rewrite prompts when working on different projects. So, I created this simple browser extension for saving and re-using prompts. The prompts are kept locally in your browser storage only (they are not sent to any server). You can save prompts by selecting the text and right-clicking on it. Or directly from the...

👋Hey hunters, I've been learning Spanish on Duolingo for a year and a half now and wanted to put that vocabulary into real-life use. Duolingo is great at offering dry repetitions. But the sentences can be nonsensical ("Three dogs cooked dinner."). Even the practical sentences carry little immediate application for me personally. So, this extension syncs vocabulary from Duolingo and...

Hey PH! 👋 I was tired of seeing completely irrelevant sensation-seeking news as the top news in both Google News and the news media. When GPT-4 came out, the top news in my country's biggest newspaper read "A pensioner was allowed to stay in her house". 🤷😠 The news media has clearly misaligned incentives - they sell views and clicks mostly, so, the more sensational, the better. The shorter,...

👋 Hey everyone, I got the original idea for the extension when trying use tools like Duolingo. I felt that the vocabulary they (and a lot of others) offer there is too artificial. And I didn't wanna go to a separate app to learn languages. I first created a basic version of a similar extension around 7 years ago as part of another startup I co-founded. For a variety of reasons, I decided to...

Hello, Product Hunt! ✨ I'm excited to finally launch Linkchimp. I've had this idea for a long time. I used to do email marketing for over 10 years. Both at agencies and in companies like Amazon and Pipedrive. When counting the different languages, I'd sometimes have hundreds of automated emails to manage and keep up to date. So, sometimes I'd find out months later that a link somewhere in an...

👋 Hey everyone. I'm Meelis, the creator of Product Loops. I created Product Loops originally as my personal wiki for running startups. Today I'm launching a reworked version of the wiki. It contains the most useful mental models and systems for growing startups. There’s also a library of product loops examples (growth loops, habit loops, feedback loops) from startups like Bolt, Revolut,...

Hi everyone, Construction is one of the biggest industries of any country. It's also the least digitized. Partly because some of the stuff is hard to digitize (a bricklayer still needs to lay bricks). But there are definitely workflows that can and should be digitized. Job costing & budget management is one such flow. It's crazy how it's done in most companies - still with Excel and...

Pretty cool for the US market :) Still a long way to go to beat the 18-minute e-residency registration in Estonia though https://e-estonia.com/e-residents/services-and-benefits/

Hey everyone, We wrote a simple extension for Chrome that basically translates a percentage of the words (or sentences) on a web page to the language you'd like to learn. It's basically language learning for extremely lazy people :) The customization options available currently: + Choose between translating words or sentences + Set the maximum percentage of the text to be translated + Ignore...
