Show HN: LangFlick – TikTok but for Language Learning

2 ahmetomer 2 6/4/2025, 8:15:16 AM apps.apple.com ↗

Hi HackerNews! I built a TikTok-style iOS app with infinite scrolling for language learning, where each "video" on the feed is a random grammar card about a verb conjugation, an adjective, or a noun. Currently only supporting German.

My goal was 1) to build a "useful" alternative to doom-scrolling on TikTok and 2) to build my first iOS app and see what the process looks like from project creation on Xcode to App Store distribution.

Happy to get your feedback!

Interesting idea. Does it include any adaptive learning/spaced repetition mechanism? (I don't have an ios device, so I can't test)

That would be one of the next steps to implement that I'm also considering. Currently, the content is ordered on a random basis.
