Hi Yinghua and Thomas, lovely idea! I was inspired and made a video about my onboarding experience and I think it can help you but I'm having trouble uploading it. (It's too long; 15min!) Can I share it with you through Skype/Hangout or so? Would love to connect! :)
Yinghua Yang
@pyer Hey Pier, thank you so much for reaching out and sending me the helpful video on FB :) We would love to connect! I'll message you on FB to schedule a time.
Thomas Reese
@pyer We really appreciate the thorough feedback video, like super love it! We'll be following up externally

Before signing up I wanted to see what languages are available but I'm having trouble finding any information, anyone know languages are currently supported?
Thomas Reese
@jbrack Hey Jesse, we currently support Spanish, German, French, Italian, Chinese (Simplified, Traditional, Cantonese), Japanese, Korean, and (for funsies) British English. Thanks for bearing with us :)

@reeset Since I'm looking for Danish, it would be great if you add a field where you ask which languages you want on the website and a email field so when you add a language, those who select it receives a notification by email :)
Thomas Reese
@johntheoak For now, please use the contact form. We'll work on a better solution for the future. Thanks for your feedback and patience ❤

@reeset Ty for the quick reply!
Thomas Reese
@jbrack Updated the website to clarify this

No way. This is brilliant... I've been in Sweden for 4 years now and the running gag in my team is that I don't speak swedish. This is about to change...
Meni Morim
Nooooooooooooo just saw swedish is not available yet :(
Thomas Reese
@menimor Hey Meni, we hand-craft all of our languages. Since you are in Sweden, if you have any native speakers that want to contribute and make your learning possible, we'd love to chat more. Please send us a message in the contact form on https://flipword.co. Also, contributing to our crowdfunding campaign will help us move everything forward even faster :D

This is awesome - as an individual who speaks 2 languages and whose IP address (because of geolocation) often gets mixed between 2 countries - my internet content is always mixed between English & Spanish, and I can definitely say this is a good way to learn. Hopefully I can use your application to learn other languages - definitely see long term in this - congratulations!
Thomas Reese
@philipvasquez I definitely understand the shoes you're in. Please let us know how we can make it even better for your situation
Philip Vasquez
@reeset I'm simply stating the learning benefits of reading content in two languages which has happened to me for years before using your application. I'm now starting to use your application to learn new languages :)
Thomas Reese
@philipvasquez Got it! Excited to help you progress :)

@lecanardmalade We appreciate the sentiment! Great to have you onboard :D

I remember seeing this years ago, and thinking it was a brilliant idea. Then you won the prestigious Cozad competition, continued development, and are now at the top of Product Hunt. Amazing! And the app itself is such a wonderful expression of the original vision. Well done; onwards and upwards!
Thomas Reese
@personifynick Thanks! We've been working hard since then to iterate and grow the product. Tons of dedication led us here. Now we prepare for what's next.
Peyton Hayslette
As someone currently learning multiple languages this is killer! Also v nice on-boarding UX
Thomas Reese
@peytonhayslette Thanks Peyton! We worked super hard to rebuild our on-boarding recently. Please leave any feedback you have! We'd love to know any other thoughts you have as you try it as well. Thank you!
Jeremy Gollehon
This is cool!
Thomas Reese
@gollyjer Thanks Jeremy! We think so too! Please spread the word, invest, and of course learn a language to push our cause forward :D
