Hey @kagi.com! Do you guys have any plans on a Kagi maps mobile app - even if it does redirect to google/apple maps for directions. It's a little painful being sent a Kagi maps link and it opening in the browser, auth'ing, then loading 😅

I've been recently trying to write more in Korean to practice my output. @leaflet.pub and @yoten.app have been big motivators to make this happen.

In an attempt to make me more consistent I've been making them all public. Check out my latest one here chooky-writes-korean.leaflet.pub/3m4uuaovlms2w

I've only had good experiences with Kagi Translate. I'm very impressed with the quality (English <> Korean).

Finally a use of AI that's practical! Its ability to translate based on provided context, tone, and speakers gender blew me away. Not to mention it's cultural hints when translating.

When tracking your study habits, what information is most important to you? What graphs / stats would help you the most when determining what you're doing is working. What graphs / stats keep you motivated?

I'm looking at expanding on and improving the statistics shown on @yoten.app

Language learning isn't all about sharing progress, it's also about sharing the things we use to help achieve our goal. I hope to foster a community of study session and resource sharing to help each other on each of our own journeys.

Language learners on bsky, what's one resource or tool you absolutely can't live without?

We just launched a new Resources page to collect all these gems! Currently, these are only visible to you, but they will soon be published to the homepage like any study session.

it's been a long time coming, but i'm happy to share that my latest creative project is finally here...

@anisota.net is an experimental social client (and game!) for Bluesky and the AT Protocol

i built it for me because i'm kinda weird and needed an equally weird way to experience social media 🕯️
