Awesome, and yes, totally makes sense -- you are more learner-centric that way.
Having the full sentence context is actually one of the things I have been thinking about a lot -- this helps both the learner as well as the POS detection in Stanza. I always decided against, because I wanted to build agnostic flash-cards.
However, as your approach allows on-the-fly generation of flash cards, you always stay close to the learner progress. I could (e.g.) pick some Gutenberg fairy tales, allow the learner to read them in their target language and provide bi- and omni-directional translations across all languages. Creating flash cards from the source material keeps the learner in progress (context), allows to learn new words step-by-step (discovery), as well as providing a fun learning experience and measurable progress. Similarly, instead of fairy tales, we could use some series in combination with its subtitles. This allows video-progress. Awesome x2!
Sidenote: The awesome part about HN is that I get to chat with like-minded people and directly grasp some new inspiration. Probably I ought to visit some in-person hacker spaces :)
