I'm learning Portuguese - and this is great, very easy to work on my pronunciation. Stylewise and functionwise it is sort of similar to Piezo by Rogue Amoeba, but your UI that is so specific to short repeated audio segments it fits the "learn a language" use case very well. I'm definately going to keep playing with it. Super cool!

Swift 6.3 4 months ago

I remember jumping into Swift from Obj-C in 2014 and using words like "beautiful" and "expressive" to describe syntax, and saying things like "you can tell what language someone is coming from by how they code in Swift". Now it's grown as it has - sometimes feels like season 4 of Lost. Makes me feel old too.
