Visually I’m working on a new landing page for phrasing. It’s almost done, just need to record a few videos: https://phrasing.app/next

Behind the scenes I’m rebuilding the sync engine to properly support offline mode. Trying to get to instant opens for the app (and of course work offline). It’s probably my 5th sync engine. It’s been really fun to see how much easier, faster, better, etc each new iteration is.

(And the project at large is https://phrasing.app - a language learning app for polyglots. It’s like anki but designed to be enjoyed)

The short intro video is helpful in understanding what Phrasing does. The promised walk-though video would also be helpful. I am interested in software for aiding language learning, but after reading your original landing page I could not understand what exactly Phrasing is or what it does. I'm looking forward to trying this out some time this week with my target language. Nice work!

Thanks for the kind words! The promised walk through will maybe come hopefully this weekend, give or take a few days.

Can I ask if the new page explained it better? The “demo/how it works” section is still missing the graphics, which I think is pretty critical. But I’m hoping the new page is a bit improvement!

One of the pieces of feedback I get most often from users is “oh this is actually really simple”. But explaining it simply has always eluded me

This looks really interesting! Is it correct that the trial is paid? I've never seen that before :O

Yeah every expression costs money to extract and it's fully bootstrapped. The trial is I give you 10 expressions at cost
