These are delightful. I think I like LingoPrio the best, since I'm (re)learning French. My kid and I went to a pediatrician appointment and my kid asked, "How do you say 'constipation' in French?" And I didn't have to look it up, since it ended in "ation".

I have a project that's arguably strange but deeply serious. I'm building a Pi Bramble [1] and adding services with the goal of making a homelab that is continuously collapsing under the weight of its own complexity. Y'know, for education! But it's also really fun, when I have time to spend on it.

Hey bios444 if you see this your comments are not showing as you seem to have been hit by HN's shadowban hammer.

It seems like you might also be absurdwebsite which doesn't seem to be banned (but does have a hidden post from a month ago).

If you plan to use this account it's worth dropping an email to the admins, they are very responsive :)

Thanks — happy to see LingoPrio didn’t go unnoticed.

Yes, experimenting for fun is what I love. I will check your project.
