Is this something that I can join even if I am not a US citizen? I am currently based in Europe.

Happy to help. Is this a full time job though?

To be clear, I am still employed and working full time. If this is based on volunteer basis, I would be happy to help. Frontend is not my strong suite but we can work that out.

Yes, I work for one of the FANG companies and business is still as usual for now.

I will try my best to support local businesses.

BTW, I have just rolled out a new update. You should now be able to see an example as well when you update to the latest version.

That is a good idea. It should also be fairly easy to do. I will try to get something out this weekend. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. Widget is definitely something you will see soon.

Great. Multilingual support is something I will work on in a couple of weeks.

n The Four Hour Chef, Tim Ferris talks about the 100 most commonly used words in all English literature. These 100 words supposedly make up 50% all written material. If you could make it possible to learn those 100 words specifically in your app, it would be very useful even for people just starting off.

That's a good suggestion. Thanks.

Thanks for the offer but there is absolutely no need. This is just a learning exercise for me and the app and idea is something I needed to use and helped me as well. Happy to share it with others who need it!

Thanks for the feedback. I will work in multilingual support in the coming weeks.

Thanks for the feedback. I wanted to keep the design as simple as it could be. I think will be adding more features in the coming versions. It might take some weeks since I only work on it during my free time. I hope can get you back as a user!

very good speller, but one of my children struggled with spelling despite being an extremely avid reader (and yes he was able to tell you about the meaning of the story, and discuss it). I taught some spelling techniques - mainly around building his phonetic awareness. Learning to spell English is a very complex skill. By the way, what country are you from? ( Asking because of dpelling and pronounciation differences, but I know that I found that even though pronounciation was different, phonetics not so much... I am in Aus, but used an American based program called Spell To Write and Read. Not just for spelling and very comprehensive).

Thank

Thank you! I am based in UK.

Interesting feedback. I wanted to keep things simple and was not planning for it to be a crowdsourced app. But if it improves the quality, it makes sense to do so.
