Show HN: LearnLingo – Converse with an AI-powered language tutor
I made a similar tool for myself (to lean Japanese) with a more "phoenix wright" game like interface, that I plan on open sourcing. (A slightly older version: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip4BxbAc13g">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip4BxbAc13g</a>)<p>I thought of going the way you went with a product, but my takes are<p>- B2C is incredibly hard, especially with a subscription. People are just going to compare the price of your product to netflix and say it's not worth it<p>- What we do is fairly easy, the whole "value" is in some fairly simple prompt on top of openAI APIs. Even if it's a success, the likes of DuoLingo can copy that in a month and have so much more marketing and money to win the market<p>- Ultimately, people can have the same thing for free with ChatGPT and just a bit of copy and paste. As times goes on and other models become better / cheaper, it will be even harder to compete.<p>- I think open sourcing means that ultimately people can create their own scenarios etc. and maybe create a community around it.
