Backwords - Learn a new language right from your wallpaper

I'm a PC user so I can't use that app, but anyway is a great product!

Pros:

Good idea

Cons:

Only for Mac and few language.

This would be cool as a Chrome extension. A new word for every new tab. I'm sure that already exists.

I love this concept @bramfritz @thom_hos! However, I find it difficult to remember a word if I only see/use it for one day. Would be interesting to have a review feature in the tool bar/something of the like.

An option to change the font and color would be helpful.

Pros:

Great tool for learning Kanji

Cons:

No cons yet

Upvoted for the pun. Great branding!

Cool idea! Just a suggestion, write on the details that it shows Simplified Characters for Mandarin. As a person who is learning Mandarin in Taiwan with Traditional Characters, me and my friends always face this when looking for apps or websites. Hope there's a version that has Traditional Characters in the future :)

Thanks for hunting @bramfritz - I love the idea behind this tool and I'm sure lots of people have learning a new language as one of their new year's resolutions; was this something which you wanted achieve, too? Which language are you learning or improving with Backwords?

Super clever. Would love to see this in more languages.

What a great way to repurpose dead space 😃

Hey @bramfritz, imho this works best as a tool to supplement your learning. As a new user, dropping me into the middle of a foreign language is not a good idea.

Could this be made into a screensaver as well?

where is your website gone? safari cannot find it?

It would be great to add your own vocabulary list that you really need to memorize

Pros:

Easy way to learn vocabulary

Cons:

No cons
