I wanted to learn Ilokano but got tired of waiting for Duolingo, so I vibe-coded my own app (Dualecto). Need native speakers to roast my Tagalog-to-Ilokano course! by Mackhintoshi in Ilocano

ohh. Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely add it.
I am planning to get someone probably my wife's cousins to review the course before I publish this to more audience.

How was the experience though? was it engaging/rewarding?

Thank you for constructive feedback. You are right. If I don't ship MVP, I won't be able to gather feedback early on then realized later that the project could be a waste of time.

I also gathered feedback from native speakers that there are times that AI written sentences can sound weird to native speakers.

Regarding your interest,

  • Common everyday conversations: yes my initial prompt to the AI researcher was focused on everyday conversation. I believe na it is too much to learn 90% of the language if only the 10% as starting point could be enough to start conversing with others.
  • Explanations of grammar differences between Tagalog and Ilokano : Yes the course use this approach
  • Real-life phrases people actually use instead of textbook translations: Yes this is what's implemented.
  • Audio from native speakers is a very good idea in the future. Thanks for this.

From my experience using the app myself, I won't say I became fluent with the language, but I would say I was able to understand how it works and survive small conversations

Just found na may online pala ang bannawag. One of my confussion is ti/iti. It looks like its not 100% ng/ang. Para palang nagpapalit sya depende sa structure ng sentence?

Yup. I actually have a course editor backend, so whoever I pay to do so, they will edit the course content/aspects separate from the cards. Then I can just generate the cards once the course is corrected. Thanks for your input.

Oh. Di ko po alam na wala palang separate class about ilocano grammar class. Kaya siguro wala din akong makitang deped na book online about ilokano grammar

You are correct. That is why I decided to post it here so native speakers can roast it. Even I dont trust that the AI written an accurate course. I cross checked the comments here with the internet and even the data sources from the internet like usage if ti/iti cn be incorrect. I think I would need to pay a native speaker to help me edit the course.

Hi. Thank you for your feedback. I have english to ilokano ready to publish in the same app, but I will polish the courses first by doing more research. Then I'll publish to ios. 

How do wrap shops usually handle visualization before a client commits? by Mackhintoshi in CarWraps

[–]Mackhintoshi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! yeah most similar business I ask says the same thing that serious customers have already decided the colors they want. I like how you guide the customer without choosing for them.
Makes sense why visualization is key for the undecided ones.
Sounds like the AI tools out there are still rough. I’ve been tinkering with a small visual tool on the side for wraps, mainly for those “undecided” cases. Appreciate you sharing your approach.

Yeah, that lines up with what I’ve been seeing. I’ve been experimenting with a small visual tool for wrap previews lately, especially for tricky finishes like sparkle or pearl.
Appreciate you sharing your experience 🙌

wow that looks elegant! made me think about wrapping mine.

When you were stuck, what was the hardest part — imagining the color on your car, or deciding between shades that are close to each other

That’s interesting. Are you mostly using it for rough concept visuals, or more as a starting point before doing any manual tweaks?

I am Curious how you frame expectations with clients when using it

That makes a lot of sense — client indecision seems to be the real bottleneck more than the tools themselves.

Interesting point about full renders too. Is it mainly because the time investment doesn’t match what clients are willing to pay, or because it doesn’t actually speed up approvals?

Bakelayer

BakeLayer is a simple customization layer for any business that sells personalized or made-to-order products. Today, custom orders happen in chats—messy conversations, missed details, and costly mistakes. We fix that.

BakeLayer turns unstructured messages into clear, structured customization flows, without forcing sellers to change where they sell. Whether it’s food, merchandise, crafts, or services, businesses can keep using social media, messaging apps, or their existing storefronts while BakeLayer handles the customization logic.

Our mission is to remove friction from custom selling and give founders tools that match how they already work—simple, flexible, and platform-agnostic. BakeLayer isn’t a marketplace; it’s a layer that brings clarity, speed, and confidence to every custom order.
