how do you make stories that actually react to user choices without it feeling weird?
trying to nail this for my language app and it's harder than I thought
the story has to flow like a real convo but also sneak in the right words
sometimes it just feels forced
still figuring it out

How is it that language apps build tools that:
- SO MANY people try
- SO MANY people get frustrated with (Duolingo, Memrise, Babbel)
They go against the usual advice for language learning success that starts with "make it fun and easy to love"

i just found a social network that feels like the anti-distraction app i didn’t know i needed
no endless scroll, no fake progress, just real work, tracked in bytes
finally, proof of work actually means something

Duolingo’s German lesson called JK Rowling “mean,” then apologized for it
even in vocab drills, can’t escape the culture wars

just realized I could convert Formula 100 in unique telenovela
plot twists every lesson, no heartbreak, and.... just spaced reviews that actually stick
honestly, i remember these stories better than anything i’ve binged

I just learnt one thing: we need to sell the outcome, not the product
spent months explaining how my app works instead of what it actually does for you
people really don't care about features, they care about results
funny how long it took me to see that
