Koaisu··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
How do you generate stories that match the respective level? I tried generating stories in Chinese (which I would say has a large learner base as well) and it never really worked except for something like A1/A2. Also, recognizing which level a story is did not work for me.

Edit: And a second question: do you support exporting the studies vocabulary as Anki or csv/…?

Koaisu··on Show HN: Turn native language audio into flashcards and shadowing practice
Just tried it with an unsupported language and it still worked I set it to Chinese and inputted the audio. Still got correct results.
Koaisu··on Show HN: I'm making an open-source platform for learning Japanese
Looks great and I thinks it’s a nice way to review vocab I learned some years ago now that I will be in Japan for vacation. Thanks!

However, it would be great if it was easier to select multiple vocabulary sets at once. Right now, I have to minimize many sets to get to let’s say set 20 and then select a maybe 20 to 25. That’s a lot of clicking here I would say. Maybe include a button that’s like select all sets of one level.

A second thing, I haven’t found is furigana or some pronunciation hint when doing the vocabulary test exercises. I know the meaning of the most of the words but it would be great to see also the pronunciation (maybe after clicking the right answer? Or as a tool tip). Or include a practicing mode for default word -> hiragana or something like that.

Otherwise, looks great I love the default font.

Koaisu··on Show HN: PageIndex – Vectorless RAG
Sounds a bit like generative retrieval (e.g. this Google paper here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.06991)
Koaisu··on Show HN: Talk to any ArXiv paper just by changing the URL
Maybe you could use: https://github.com/facebookresearch/nougat/tree/main or https://github.com/VikParuchuri/marker

Both are tools to convert pdfs into Latex or Markup with latex formulas. Maybe that helps
