I think a query language would be great, with a way to subquery/chain data from previous requests (e.g. by jsonpath) to subsequent ones.

The closest I’ve gotten is to wrap the APIs with GraphQL. This achieves joining, but requires strict typing and coding the schema+relationships ahead of time which restricts query flexibility for unforeseen edge cases.

Another is a workflow automation tool like n8n which isn’t as strict and is more user-friendly, but still isn’t very dynamic either.

Postman supports chaining, but in a static way with getting/setting env variables in pre/post request JS scripts.

Bash piping is another option, and seems like a more natural fit, but isn’t super reusable for data sources (e.g. with complex client/auth setup) and I’m not sure how well it would support batch requests.

It would be an interesting tool/language to build, but I figure there has to be a solution out there already.

Somewhat off-topic, but is there a tool which integrates something like this/jq/fx and API requests? I’d like to be able to do some ETL-like operations and join JSON responses declaratively, without having to write a script.

While there are probably some tools to do this, I'd suggest taking the plunge and just doing native subs (or no subs!). Part of the immersion process is being comfortable in being uncomfortable. Removing the crutches can be a big leap, but IMO our brains need it in order to progress.

If I have native subs, I find myself falling back on them and not really learning. Less information on-screen is also less our brain has to process, which is already quite a bit when learning a new language.

Also finding subs (and good ones at that) are frustratingly difficult, so finding a pair that is synced up sounds like quite the task!

Thank you so much! And yes, the responsive breakpoints between mobile and desktop need some love. Thank you again for checking it out

Hi and yes! I am planning to migrate to ISO-639-3 which accommodates dialects.

Thank you for checking it out and for the comment!

Hi HN,

I'm happy to announce the release of a site I've been working on to help find immersion content that's engaging _and_ at your level (without sacrificing one for the other).

It's part-catalog, part-immersion tracker, and part-recommendation system.

Find content by genre/theme or media type (movie, TV, book, podcast, YouTube channel), add it to your library or bookmark it for later, give it a thumbs up/down rating, and rank its difficulty to help us build a global difficulty scale!

Thank you

P.S. Made with Remix which made it a breeze
