As a maker, I'm proud to announce the launch of another edutainment project - InterSub which helps people elevate their language learning while watching videos. It was a long journey with lots of UX and technical experiments, and I love the final product. However, we're constantly looking for your feedback and for improvement ideas for further development inspirations. Feel free to share it in your comments. Also, check the Kirill's intro post for more details and for a special offer for PH users.

👋 Intro As a serial startup founder and someone who has been learning English for 20 years, I'm aware of the difficulties of regularly practicing a new language. Approximately 760 million English First Language speakers like me are motivated to learn the language, but not motivated enough to change our habits and practice it regularly. One of the reasons for the difficulty with regular practice is that it's challenging for an adult city dweller to embed a new activity or habit, in our case, learning a language, into the established mode of life. 📺 Watching videos to learn English After much experimentation, I found that incorporating my English learning into my daily routine was possible by watching videos in English. This allowed me to enjoy my spare time while improving my language skills. However, if you're not fluent in the target language, stopping to check unfamiliar words ruins the pleasure of watching, and we are first and foremost watching, and then learning. Not checking unfamiliar words also means missing context, often important context. 🔍 Existing solutions Upon reviewing the existing solutions, I found that most language platforms or advanced competitors were too complicated to use, which meant that the desire to use them quickly came to naught. 💡 Our Solution Our goal is to create a complete solution that simplifies the discovery of unknown words in videos and makes it easy to learn them later, with unobtrusive help and hints from AI based on statistics. 👉 What we have so far: Google Chrome extension that works on YouTube, Netflix, Coursera (with more platforms to come) * Instant word translation on hover or click, including context * Automatic saving of viewed words with context into your personal vocabulary * Personal account with viewed/saved words and statistics * Mobile apps for memorizing words * Weekly digest of frequent words * Free and premium plans 📝 What is in the plans: * Automatic detection of phrasal verbs and other strong expressions * Support of Safari, desktop and mobile versions * Coverage of major streaming and educational platforms * Editing of saved words/phrases in the personal account * Different modes of playing captions and showing translations 🙏 The ask. And give :) We would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and feedback, so we can continue to improve the product. We appreciate constructive criticism, but please don't throw tomatoes at us just yet! As a token of our appreciation, we're offering 2 weeks of full access for those of our PH users who activate the code: PH2WEEKS. Or follow this link: https://app.intersub.cc/en/check.... P.S. Huge thanks to @kevin for hunting us today. We greatly appreciate your support! 🤩

Surprised with keen on details and user flow 😉

Congtrats on the launch! This tool looks like actually useful browser extention 🙂 Good luck with the development

Congrats with the launch! 🤘🏻 Tool looks useful.

Congrats on the launch! And thanks for making the learning process easier!

Exciting tool! I remember learning French by watching the same movie again and again. It was super useful, and I learned a lot of phrases, but I was constantly switching between that movie and a dictionary, it's a bit annoying. This tool looks really promising, and Spanish is my next language challenge!

Congrats on the launch, love the My Words integration. Any particular AI technology on the backend?

Great idea and nice pictures here!) Good luck! Is it possible to make it in safari later?

Congrats with the launch! Using it quite often when watching series and movies in English!

Good luuck!))

good product, I thinks I will be one of the first users xD

I believe that it is the best way to learn a new language. Way to go guys!

Not bad.

@dennis_crane congratulations on the launch! This tool looks very interesting - if not for learning English, but definitely for translating. I've tested in on Youtube and my favorite part is that it pauses video on hover on a new word and automatically starts again. Great usability!

Congratulations on launching InterSub! This is an amazing tool for language learners - I'm eager to start using it for my own language journey!

Looks very intriguing! Wondering what age this will be most appropriate for as a teaching solution. Can my 7-year benefit from it?

Wow, beautiful project, congratulations with launch, are you also planning to extend to other languages? I would appriciate to have such app for German

Looks really good. Just don’t forget to try

Sounds like amazing idea!
