Comment on Ask HN: How do I market to consumers as a solo dev about to go to uni?parent

Comments

To be clear, the main product is translating from English to the language you're learning - not the other way around - so that you immerse yourself while you browse.

The hybrid translator is kinda a side thing based on my research into LLM translation quality.

It's a bit more complicated than using the best LLM, because it combines the results of the best ones, but yeah, that's broadly how it works. I made that part open source, anyway - I'm not trying to sell the hybrid translator, just use it as a marketing tool.

But I guess this comes back to the fact that I think my landing page might explain it poorly. I'm just not sure how to explain "It finds English sentences in webpages, filters out so that it's only the ones at your difficulty level, then translates them into your target language, so you're immersed while you browse" in the form of a ultra-low-attention-span landing page.
