Hey there fellow indies ๐,
TL;DR: Seeking feedback on yeonseub ๐ธ.
I've been fascinated with Korean language and culture for a while now and have recently started studying Korean more seriously. As a developer, I found myself writing little apps to help me practice the Korean language. I thought, well, why not put the stuff I make for myself into a product. Thus, yeonseub (literally the word "practice" in Korean) was born.
yeonseub is a web app that aggregates Korean language learning resources, provides concise cheatsheets for elements of the Korean language and provides tools to practice different aspects of the Korean language.
I have been working on it in the past 2 weeks, and I am now seeking feedback from friends and fellow builders.
You may have noticed that Korean culture is on the rise internationally, from K-dramas to K-pop. Interest in the Korean language is growing every year and the Korean government is actively expanding its reach. One of the biggest free resources to study the Korean language, Talk To Me In Korean, has recently completely pay walled itself citing the reason to be a mass of users (over 1.5M) that they can no longer support for free. This is a niche market but with many potential customers.
As a self learner myself, I find it sometimes hard to practice the language or find concise references for elements of the language or the best resources to study with. So yeonseub has 2 parts:
As a shy developer, getting myself out there is probably the hardest part but you gotta do what you gotta do. So I was thinking in terms of reaching users I will:
This is my first completely solo project. I will very much appreciate any feedback about all of the above as well as general impressions from the website and service itself. Do let me know of any problems or bugs you encounter! Thank you!
