Very interesting idea! Curious if it's possible to learn effectively through random online content. Congrats on the launch!

@stan_xu1 Thanks for the comment Stan! That's a super interesting question. Some of our core/most loyal users tried using weibo, wechat moments, xhs, etc, but the issue they shared time and time again is that 1. the content is just way to high level because it's complete native text 2. they lacked a learning interface around those texts, and 3. there wasn't built in repetition of words that helps with remembering them over time.

This is sweet! Congrats on the launch. I used to use Duolingo and felt I wasn't learning much despite having a big streak. Finally something that actually focuses on learning.

minimalist phone: reduce your screentime

Hey makers! 🙂 Really enjoy the idea of helping people to learn (anything)! One question about plans. Are there any differences in additional features/benefits in the different pricing plans? + What is your competition advantage comparing to DuoLingo?

@busmark_w_nika Hey Nika, Thanks for the comment! Currently we only have 1 plan that gives full access to the app. There is a free trial leading up to either a monthly or annual version of the plan. We played around with a freemium model, but really the learning experience felt incomplete without the whole app, so we stuck with a singular paid plan! In terms of competitive advantage compared to Duolingo, our first audience focus is quite different. We're looking for intermediate learners who already know 50-100 characters, or heritage speakers who grew up around the language. These learners often have already done Duolingo, or want a bit more of a hearty learning experience day to day. Our other focus is on personalization, so your content + text differs from others rather than a static learning path that everyone follows. Hope this makes sense, and would love your feedback!
