Hi!

I would love to try this. I am currently on my 7th language so I am always excited to find language learning apps. So far none of them has beaten a good old language course and consuming media in the language.

Maybe the website has received a bit too much love but I am trying to search for a TV show and the UI is not reacting at all (I entered "How I Met Your Mother" in the textbox below "How to do what you love" on the playground page).

A bit of a strange question I have is who created the pictures for your updates page? The style reminds me of Raycast marketing material which I find incredibly beautiful. I really like the optics, is there a name for this style?

All the best!



Hey! So the search box is part of a demo of an article we aligned. For the Playground, we just have some example content to show how it works (we wanted to share to HN but we didn't want to do so without giving people something to play with). We could have made that more clear.

In the actual application, you're correct, you just type in the show name and it will look it up for you. That's just not this page :)

With regards to the design, I think it's been dubbed 'Aurora UI'. We have a large figma files with dozens of similar sources, I think raycast is one of them haha
