  • I have been working on a similar project on-and-off in my spare time, the only remotely interesting feature that other similar software may not have is that it actually tries to parse/analyze sentences (with an NLP lib). It's made specifically for German, and the reason why I wanted to make it is that no existing software managed to handle separable verbs properly - for example learning "Wir fangen jetzt an." is just wrong if you learn it as 'fangen' and 'an' separately, you actually care about 'anfangen', dictionary-wise.

    It unfortunately does have false-positives (a complete solution would require LLMs, I believe over the much less complicated NLP algorithms - I just don't want to send whole books to ChatGPT, as that would quickly become expensive), but I found it usable, so I made it public now: https://github.com/tenaf0/lwt

    I don't want to "advertise" it even more, as the NLP lib is run by academia as a free service, and I don't want to overburden it (I have been planning on hosting it myself, but didn't yet get there).

  • because I didn't see any obvious link to said repo, for convenience: https://github.com/katspaugh/fluentcards and https://github.com/katspaugh/fluentcards-grammar

    Being the resident licensing pedant, I'll point out that neither of those repos have any licensing information aside from package.json and I doubt gravely that's strong enough for any contributor's comfort level
