What inspired me to build PosterWords? I started learning Mandarin for real life — not for a test score. But every app I tried gave me disconnected word lists. I could recognize characters on flashcards, yet still go blank when ordering food, making small talk, or texting a friend. The gap wasn't "more vocabulary." It was vocabulary tied to actual situations I cared about. So I built PosterWords around one simple loop: 1. Describe a real-life scene (travel, work lunch, dating, etc.) 2. AI generates words, phrases, and example sentences — with pinyin and audio 3. HSK cards + daily tasks + spaced review keep progress structured Along the way, the product evolved from "another flashcard app" into something I'd actually open daily: a native iPhone experience with widgets, Live Activities, and a lighter card flow that doesn't feel like homework. HSK core flow is free to try today. Pro unlocks unlimited AI scene generation. I'd love your honest take: what's the ONE Mandarin situation you wish you could handle confidently? Travel? Work in China? Family conversations? Tell me — I'll reply with how I'd set it up in the app.

Building PosterWords for Mandarin learners who want vocab tied to real situations — not just flashcards. What scene would you want to learn first: travel, food ordering, or work small talk?
