Wow I am pleasantly surprised by this! The UI is incredibly fitting for the value you're adding and product you're building. I didn't even know I WOULD want to know and Old English word-of-the day. Until now. There's so many things I love about this. I love that this your first app built (Congrats man, it's a big deal and well done on launching!). I love that this is a collab between you and your wife, must have been a blast working on this together. And I love that you built something I have never even been close to encountering. Oh love the widget tool as well. Well done all around!

Thanks so much! I didn’t know anything about Old English until I met my wife. Now that I do I thought it would be fun to make an app for her and to share it with a whole new audience. :)

Congratulations on launching your first app! I am a teacher myself and as someone who loves languages, I am excited by apps that make learning fun. I really like the UI as well and the medieval design is interesting and very well done. It’s a pretty cool app that I plan on using for a long time. Thanks for sharing!

@ryanlintott Yess! I am a Chinese Mandarin teacher and all my prior studies and teaching expertise has been in Chinese. In fact, I have created a language learning app that helps people speak and learn Mandarin. That is why I was very intrigued by your app and have been learning so many new words and gaining more knowledge about the English language itself.

This is the first app I've designed and built using SwiftUI! My wife has a PhD in Old English and writes all the content.

I love this UI, color palette and how it all fits together, from the app to the widgets! 🤩

@daniel_saidi The color palette is based on the limited colors available to medieval scribes. This historical limitation helps all the manuscript images fit in perfectly with the UI elements.

This seems like a great app! Unusual but interesting topic. I'm going to have to get it!

Thanks! Old English is often unusual but sometimes quite familiar compared to modern English. Some words (like “word”) haven’t changed at all in over 1000 years.
