Speaking as a total ignorant from a coding perspective. But I guess that wouldn’t be the hard part, considering that most of Duolinguo is just boxes and text inputs. How difficult it is to create a database of competent linguists with an efficient training who can progressively enhance your understanding of languages?

      I did know about LibreLingo, but it still feels like it’s taking really small steps! And the other alternatives don’t seem to offer the semi-holistic experience that Duolingo provides.

          it doesn’t live up to his expectations while being made by someone else on their free time. This mentality is rampant in opensource.

          Is he going to contribute, not likely

          is he going to donate so they can work on it, also no

          is he going to vaguely ask others to make an app to compete with commercial companies, Oh yesss
