Hi Product Hunt!
I'm excited to launch Wortschatz. I originally built this as an Android app back in 2014 to help myself learn German. It worked, but it had a fatal flaw: maintaining local SQLite databases and manually hunting for words to build flashcard decks was exhausting.
Today LLMs have completely changed how we can approach language learning. I decided to revive the project, rewriting it from the ground up (Angular 19 + Supabase) to build a smarter, zero-maintenance learning app.
Here is how Wortschatz does things differently:
- Zero Deck Building: You don't manage vocabulary anymore. The app automatically batches AI-generated German words directly into the database.
- Contextual AI Grading: Instead of just marking a typo as "wrong," the AI evaluates your answers and actually explains your mistakes.
- Adaptive Spaced Repetition: Every 5-word lesson is a custom mix of fresh vocabulary and the specific words you struggled with in previous sessions.
- Built for Consistency: To prevent burnout (and to practically manage the AI token budget), learning is capped at 5 short lessons a day. It’s built for steady habits, not cramming.
As a solo developer, building this was a fantastic excuse to dive deep into AI coding tools and pragmatic edge-function architectures.
I would love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or ideas for what I should build next. The app is completely free to use. I’ll be hanging out in the comments all day to answer any questions!
Happy learning!
