I was quite eager to check this out. As some polite feedback, a few things turned me off quite strongly:
1. I want to get confirmation that the language I want is covered (Hungarian). "120+" doesn't confirm it for me, as Hungarian seems fairly rare for language apps. Can we not just have a "search your language" field?
2. I need to see what the app actually looks like, how it proposes it'll teach me.
I'm one of the eager-to-pay people, because Duolingo is frankly dogshit (ok. Mostly polite) at teaching languages (doubly so ones that it doesn't care about like Hungarian). But I'm so suspicious of language apps, due to being burnt a dozen times.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you completely.
1. I just started the marketing website a few weeks ago, and if you can believe it, I didn't readily have that information. One of my tasks last week was to compile a list of languages that could work, write some tests for all of the languages, and get a list of supported languages. I have that list now, I just need to put it on the marketing page.
2. As mentioned in other comments, I'm working on a video. I'm preferring to fix glaring issues before making the video, although at this point I'm verrrrrrry close. I have started scripting it, but it takes a lot of time to make a good video (1-2 full days if I don't want to edit it).
Your feedback is completely valid, and they're both reasons why I'm not really marketing the product yet. This thread seemed like a good middle ground though as having some people using all the languages would be really helpful. Also, I've genuinely been loving using it and want to share.
It's just me working on it, so these things are coming, but everything takes a while! Hopefully these didn't sour you on the project permanently :)
Nope, not soured. And don't worry, I totally get that things take a bunch of effort and time (doubly so as a solo project). I'll give it a re-look in a little while :)
