This is something i created to improve my own vocabulary and improved the story creation prompt and the word list (which i have been maintaining for a few years)in the last few months based on feedback from my users.

This service sends daily emails with a short story containing advanced English words. 7 Day free trial is included

yes, though it doesn’t yet have a REPL but the hot reloading works great

yeah REPL driven development is pure joy. Even back when i was a JS developer i was developing a lot of my algos in devtools and then copying them to code.

It’s like having a conversation with your program while you are developing it.

Agree with the first part of your comment.

gaming the system is prevalent but not considered ethical in india. HRs won’t allow such candidates for example. So there is no question of amending CoC to make room.

There is a difference between something being prevalent and something being culturally accepted. The solution lies in naming and shaming. Making it clear that such people aren’t wanted on these platforms.

But i don’t think anyone should chalk this up to “cultural norms” That’s just being unfair to those of us who are just as fed up with this mindset.

like how investing in computer science in the 80s helped? seriously what’s the objection when india spends a small fraction of its budget on space.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am partially indexing on my own but as of now mostly relying on Bing API.

Yes, the number of tags and their quality is an issue. The current keyword suggestion algorithm will get better as more and more people use it.

I would love to checkout your search engine if you have a link handy

Thank you for your feedback!

I take both your points about the UI. Tags are a bit overwhelming. i am working on solving that problem.

Underlying Tech: i am using clojure/redis/mongo on the backed. React/redux on the front end. I am partially using my own index but for the most part (especially for new searches) relying on Bing api.
