Is there some project that the opensource world is missing that you think it needs?

    Open source language learning only has Anki. Everything else is in an enbryonic stage.

    There are so many low hanging fruits. Add-on to look up words in subtitles and add it to Anki. Luo dingo clone that’s a bit less tedious (without having to write so much of your native language). Clozemaster clone (unless someone knows how to set up Anki to do this)

      I think Memento is open source. It’s good for subtitles->Anki cards.

        That’s a good one, but it’s only for Japanese.

        Of course, you can’t easily extend that to other languages unless you have conjugation/declension tables. When I want to learn a word I need to be adding the base form to Anki, not the actual word said

      See I just started getting into learning another language and like most people I just downloaded Duolingo. But now on YouTube everybody recommends Anki. Over anything else I mean also immersion but like Anki is the go-to so I think Open source won

      forget me not, i think on f-droid may be an option. it’s fairly easy to make data files for, and you could easily ask your favourite llm to wrap some data into the format.
