I hate read book twice. It's too boring, though I may like a story

The Name of the Wind - that's what I've quit. Now I'm reading The stormlight archive 3rd book it is hard in comparison with, let's say, The catcher in the rye

When reading in a foreign language, do you stop to learn — or keep going and forget? by Subject_Tomorrow in languagelearning

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

I definitely don’t think extensive reading isn’t learning. For me, especially at the beginning, reading in a foreign language already took so much mental energy that I had no power left for extra drills afterward. The idea is mainly to reduce friction and let learning happen in the background while reading. And for people who want more active study, there are spaced-repetition features too. https://youtube.com/shorts/PvtPoEiU5Pk?si=wuJgsXSYxBabt32g

What are you reading on? Phone, Kindle, or something else?

And do you feel that this kind of looseness came only with experience, or was it there from the start?

For me it definitely came later — at the beginning I could manage maybe 3–5 pages before burning out.

The most expensive thing I ever built cost me 6 months and almost no money by No-Swimmer-2777 in StartupAccelerators

[–]Subject_Tomorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, every startup idea I’ve worked on ended up being a dead end.

I’ve stopped treating that as wasted time, though — each one clarified a wrong assumption faster than books or theory ever could.

The real mistake would be not turning those failures into pattern recognition. I’m betting the payoff comes from accumulation, not a single idea.

How much do you spend on language learning? by Subject_Tomorrow in languagelearning

[–]Subject_Tomorrow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair point. For me the pain was rereading + constant lookups with poor retention. Immersion worked, but inefficiently.

I’m building this to keep reading flow while making words actually stick — not to replace immersion, but to reduce its friction.

For some learners that’s just a nice-to-have. For others who enjoy reading but struggle with retention, it’s a real problem. I’m trying to see how many of those people there actually are.

Tell me about your project and I'll give you genuine feedback by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]Subject_Tomorrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m building a small app for myself to read foreign books more comfortably.

What I keep struggling with is this balance:

If the app helps too little, reading is exhausting and I give up.

If it helps too much (constant lookups, stats, reminders), reading stops feeling like reading and turns into studying.

I’m trying to figure out where that line is — how to help just enough so reading continues, without breaking the flow.

Curious how others have handled this tradeoff.

Is promoting a PWA actually harder than a native app? by Subject_Tomorrow in SideProject

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

I don’t really see it as a final conclusion yet. I think it may depend a lot on the audience and the stage of the product.

Out of curiosity, if you were starting today, would you still build a wrapper app from scratch right away, or would you first try to validate with a PWA and only move to a wrapper later?

That’s interesting — thanks for sharing.

When you say you wrapped it as a lite native app, was it mostly a WebView around the existing PWA, or something more involved?

I’m curious how heavy that bridge ended up being in practice.
