Recommend using service like clerk to make signup/in easy. (https://clerk.com/pricing). Free for first 10k users.


This is a great, and b/c pulling from podcasts, can handle hard languages (eg. Hungarian). Smart. Some thoughts:

- Buttons to click thru examples for words, waiting is slow

- Partial load of podcast screen (for speed)

- Playback controls for podcasts would be nice (skip, ff, 1.5x)

- Define word in hover would probably be faster/more seamless + pronunciation

- Search bar for known words + alphabetical.. (OR if heard N times -> known)

Also, get the avoidance of gamification, but would like some sort of progress tracking (mins listened, lexicon, % of top 1k frequency). Will play some more when signups work.


Thanks for the feedback.

Note that you track your progress seeing the minutes played and the words marked as known when you click on the button on the top right in the "Profile" tab.

Is the signup not working for you?


No, never got email. Auto-marking words makes more sense.


Maybe; BonBook never will.


Beta turns booking into two clicks.


Beta (and sim) intentionally does not search them.


The sim has limited ability to make it lightweight, free from signup and responsive in ~15 seconds.

Beta is much more capable.

GFlights is not used, link is there for comparison.


Yes, this is a bit more complicated but on the roadmap. Great suggestion.


We had a bug with one of our external provides earier this morning, but its now resolved.


The beta is email-based booking, changes and more. The demo simulates the search experience via email.


Checkout link in beta provides details. But you can request both :)
