   A review

   It's incredibly easy to use and the regular reminder from the app about practicing more keep you consistent. Besides,in my opinion,it also can be not only a tool for learning languages,but a good entertainment for kids too. I've been practicing here almost every day throughout the year and i highly recommend Duolingo:))

   👍 Pros:    I added everything i want to be mentioned above

   👎 Cons:    Perhaps the design may look "too childish" for some adults,but it's only the matter of taste

   Pretty good

   Duolingo is a quite nice language learning app for the begginers and for those who want to know a certain language on a pretty good medium level(It's like something between A2-B1,i suppose). Moreover, I'd like to admit it's can be useful for kids as well because the app has cute design and playable interactions , challenges and its own little app - shop where you can buy different bonuses for you ,and in my opinion,children could like an idea of learning languages in a playable form. Though, Duolingo can be rather annoying, when you miss one or two days of studying ,so it'd be really awesome if my brother,for example, who uses this app ,could make his own studying schedule here.

• how gamifying my life helped me build better habits and achieve my goals

  Duolingo: a language-learning app that uses points, levels, and rewards to keep you motivated. This is the most effective when you do it with your friends or a group of people who share your learning goals. I got really addicted to checking my leaderboard rankings everyday.

• Brushing up on Spanish

  Hi! I wish I'd seen a post like this a few months ago. I would have been interested then. By now it's a little late for me. I just signed up for the 2 week free trial since that's about all the time I have left before I leave. If you can, use a desktop computer/laptop to do duolingo.com and it will have no ads and unlimited hearts! Not as convenient as the app on a phone but saves tons of time and you can do it...

  I appreciate the energy to help, but if there are 5 posts in a day all on the same topic with the answer 'use duolingo.com' I don't expect anyone who has the "I'll just create a reddit post" idea to find this post and read it, they didn't read any of the others. Source: about 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (May 2026)

  Been working on https://searchcode.com/ again which I bought back, albeit as code search tool for LLMs. It solves the “should I use this library” by allowing the LLM to inspect search and analyse it before integration. Can use it to compare multiple repositories before downloading. It comes with a large amount of token savings and can be really useful when wanting to learn about a codebase. Since it does it anyway... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

  I reimagined https://searchcode.com/ since I realised LLMs have issues when it comes to understanding code you want to integrate. It’s useful for looking though any codebase, or multiple without having to clone it. I use it when I have candidate libraries to solve a problem, or I just want to find out how things work. Most recently I pointed it at fzf and was able to pull the insensitive SIMD matching it uses and... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Searchcode.com's SQLite database is probably 6 terabytes bigger than yours

  Searchcode doesn't seem to work for me. All queries (even the ones recommended by the site) unfortunately return zero results. Maybe it got hugged? https://searchcode.com/?q=re.compile+lang%3Apython. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Searchcode – search 75B lines of code from 40M projects

  Without saying what repos they prioritize, it's hard to take them seriously since some pretty simple searches were "uh-huh" e.g. https://searchcode.com/?q=kubelet&src=2&lan=55 versus https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=kubelet&literal=1 or the gold standard (although regrettably no longer open source) https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+kubelet&patternType=keyword&sm=0. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
