Vokabeln.io VS Persumi

Congrats! 3k a month is a already a nice side hustle. Are you personally using the app a lot? I'm asking because I've also had the idea of a language learning chatbot, put together a quick POC but found it super boring super fast. Also, I've found it difficult to learn new words, because when you are speaking, you are only using the words you already know. At the end, I've abandoned the chatbot project idea and... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Hi, if it would be sufficient for you to read websites, I'm building https://vokabeln.io, though the concept is a bit different, focusing more on flashcards and spaced-repetition. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

And yet again, I'm promoting my app on HN. SRS flashcards, sentences and audio generated with AI, Wiktionary, YouTube, Webbrowser integration: https://vokabeln.io (landing page is old) Only works for German right now, but I'll be adding Spanish and English in the coming months. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

My biggest side projects come from being almost mad that a certain project does not exist. For example, I've seen a lot of gif memes on the internet, in which the text was always very badly jumping around and it was very difficult to make them. So I've spent a few hundreds of hours making https://gifmemes.io. (actually as my bc. Project :D) Another project I'm working on right now comes from my frustrations with... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I'm building a spaced-repetition flashcards language learning app, that generates sentences and explanations for a given word. Unfortunately only for German, but I plan on expanding the languages soon. https://vokabeln.io Tech stack:. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I'm "half-half" so to speak. I work as a CTO in my day job (as an employee). Also I'm self-employed (via a company structure) to build https://persumi.com - a blogging platform, and https://rizz.farm - a lead gen platform, as well as to work on client work. https://persumi.com/u/fredwu/hire-fred :). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

After having worked at many startups, most recently as CTO, I had finally started building my own SaaS (https://persumi.com, a blogging/audio platform and https://rizz.farm, a lead generation platform) in 2023. So for 2024 I'd love to start monetising them and turning them into real businesses. Fingers crossed. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I think it depends. I used Petal Pro (https://petal.build/) to build Persumi (https://persumi.com) in three months and Rizz.farm (https://rizz.farm) in six weeks, both in my spare time. It would not have been possible if it wasn't for the boilerplate taking care of things like authentication and user management. With a bit of digging around, things are pretty straightforward. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I built https://persumi.com to uplift my own blogs, and to turn text into audio (you can subscribe in your podcast app). Then, once I realised there's no good tools to promote it, I built https://rizz.farm so I can promote Persumi. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Personally, I enjoy the human aspect, so I've been working as a CTO for a few years now. On the side I spend my spare time working on open source projects, freelance projects and most recently my own apps (persumi.com and rizz.farm) because programming is still my passion and hobby.
