Show HN: I am relaunching the app I made to talk to my Danish girlfriend

[lil_csom]

It has been a while since I have shared my app, that I made to be able to practice my Danish while chatting with my grilfriend - I often used GPT to write as much as I can in Danish, and I replaced the words I didn't know with {Englis words in curly braces}. While this was great, it was rather annoying to type the prompt always, so I figured a GPT wrapper would work well here.

Last time when I launched, it went viral! I was super happy (and grateful!) for all the feedback and excitement — but it also meant my tokens disappeared fast, and many people ended up trying an app that no longer worked...

So… I took a step back, trimmed a few auxiliary features, and started porting the whole thing over to Supabase with proper rate limiting.

It’s still a work in progress, but the core functionality is up and running — you can write in your target language, add words that you do not know (or context) in {curly braces}, and get a corrected version with explanations.

I figured I’d share an update now instead of waiting until everything’s perfect — would love to build it in the open and keep you all in the loop this time.

Menurdu popped up an "install this" box. Malware alert.

Hey, as it's a freemium tool, I've decided to include ads that are while full page, easy to close - to make back some of the free tokens used. I figured this would be OK - but if it gives off such an impression, then I might remove it. Or are you talking about the recommendation to add it to the phone home screen? I added that as I did that to access the website when I use it a bit easier and figured I could maybe nudge users gently, to do so if they want - more like as a reminder.

Download ready, click to proceed for me. Clicking the X on the second time I loaded the site click jacked the ad itself.

Awesome. Much more pleasant to use than Google translate. Solid stuff.
