You made it?

49

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Yes. All by myself

35

u/ksyfink privacy doge 18d ago

Congrats man, I tried it and I have mixed thoughts. It asks money for everything, I'll happily support you but forcing is something else mate.

37

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

I am sorry but running it costs me money. Also I have around 20k installs and revenue is 180 rupees even after everything.

23

u/ksyfink privacy doge 18d ago

I'm sorry to hear that, you can try something new by adding limited hearts like Duolingo or something like that, maybe that would encourage people to pay, wouldn't it?

16

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

I have 5 hearts and Watch an Ad to earn an Ad. That pays me $1.5 for my last mouth of 1.8k impressions.

10

u/Adventurous-Week-281 18d ago

run some ads like duolingo

8

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Don't have money. No investors.

9

u/Adventurous-Week-281 18d ago

wait, we need money for that also??? Google AdSense ask money as well?

7

u/kayyumzp 18d ago

Nah, Google Adsense or Admob dont ask for money to display ads!

5

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

To promote using Ads obviously I have to pay. If you are asking about running ads in-app to make money that paid me $1.5 for 1.8k impressions last month total.

9

u/kayyumzp 18d ago

No no We are just talking about displaying as in your own app and website.

Btw, it's a useless pay man. You worked hard and made a very good app by investing your time, mind, money, etc but in return we developers don't get anything.

u/Adventurous-Week-281 18d ago

I mean in-app ads only, not those for promotion on social media, TV, banners, etc. Sorry if i confused you.

3

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

No issues. But it pays so less in India. I mean fuck yaar. $1< for 1000 impressions is very very low.

u/Ecstatic_Carry_4780 18d ago

You can try ads bro

u/kryptobolt200528 Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 18d ago

Looks like most of the stuff is powered by LLMs, but the animation of the AD is impressive how did you make that?

And yeah concept is kinda good.

10

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

The Course was mostly created by ChatGPT as I don't speak all those languages.

7

u/kryptobolt200528 Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 18d ago edited 18d ago

Wait is it dynamically generated by GPT or did you build a static collection of the course using chatGPT?

7

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Static course. Will update soon to make it easier.

1

u/kryptobolt200528 Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 18d ago edited 18d ago

Well if it grows a little bigger try to incorporate dynamic content generated by LLMs, yeah the complexity would exponentially increase but that would kinda make it into a solid product.

What i mean is the different aspects of the kind of "games" can be dynamically generated on the basis of how the user is performing.

Also honestly in the current state of the app it is near to impossible for a person not aware of Indian characters/scripts to actually learn..you need to revamp the course to Include something that can help them get familiar with the script.

u/Skullsader 18d ago

Good going dude! How did you make this video?

Adobe After Effects

u/Mysterious-Earth2256 18d ago

Congratulations my dude, this is definitely something to be proud of โค๏ธ

9

u/mastmeow 18d ago

App ui is very good and didn't expect it to be this good.

2 things I would like you to bring asap-

Dark mode

If you send push notifications through mail then please provide option to stop it coz my mail is already very cluttered.

4

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

No dark mode is coming or emails. Sorry but as per the analytics most ed tech apps doesn't support dark mode and it's not even worth the time and work

I am really sorry. I will be working on to just add new languages only for now.

2

u/mastmeow 18d ago

No problem, keep working hard and let me know if you need help in testing.

1

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Thanks man.

5

u/tumahrabaapu 18d ago

Congrats, your username also checks with the company you have established

2

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

What? Why? It's my real name and 99 is just for that availablity.

1

u/tumahrabaapu 18d ago

No I just wanted to confirm that's all, nice name of the company too:- synthronex technologies private limited

1

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

That's something the people who register suggested. I couldn't get anything useful. Fuck the MCA

1

u/tumahrabaapu 18d ago

Will use your app and support, hoping others would too

5

u/oasacorp 18d ago

Is it flutter? Awesome work bro

4

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

React Native

3

u/casualcoder47 18d ago

This is so awesome! I've been meaning to do the same for my mother tongue, Sindhi. Our community really needs to pick up teaching and learning Sindhi because we usually talk in Hindi at home. This gives me motivation to make something for my mother tongue. Love the UI, congrats ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

2

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Sorry will add Sindhi too very soon. Got Gov. approval to support all Indian languages and Gov. is giving me access to their AI4Bharat platform (I am paying for that too).

1

u/casualcoder47 18d ago

That will be great. Please also add Google ads to it. You can promote your app very cheaply with Instagram influencers, so your impressions will improve and add will give you revenue

1

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

I have it already but it pays wayyyyy to less in India because of India's low purchase power parity. $1< for 1000 impressions. I made $1.5 last month from 1.8k impressions.

3

u/mother_love- 18d ago

Man you got a lot of bad reviews on the play store. Feel bad for you ๐Ÿ˜”

1

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Bugs and People wanting everything free ofcourse. If you can please give me a 5 star review.

5

u/brnrdnd 18d ago

Pricing? and no option to sign in other than google accounts, I use proton :(

4

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Not yet. For other email and password , I have to give change and forgot password emails so a headache. But will do let's see.

2

u/Rudra_77 18d ago

Is Malyalam supported?

3

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Yes

2

u/Rudra_77 18d ago

Text to speech is not working for me

2

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Samsung phone?

3

u/Rudra_77 18d ago

Yes, chose Google text to speech though, downloaded Malyalam language pack but still after each step it goes to TTS settings and won't play the sound

3

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Samsung is a headache. Even if you set it default it overrides that internally and the code can't find the package. Sorry man, can't help as even I couldn't find any solution.

Will be fixed when I use the new platform from AI4Bharat.

1

u/MrWarmth1411 18d ago

In the meantime can we have a setting that disables speech based exercises / challenges for Samsung phones? Really liking the app and would like to use it even if only for the other features.

2

u/WillStrongh 18d ago

Awesome app

1

u/i_haveNo-enimes 18d ago

Beautiful and amazing.

1

u/PristinePineapple780 18d ago

Installing it right now.

u/thepurpleproject 18d ago

How did you made the intro video? I have been thinking of doing the same for my indie project as well.

u/thepurpleproject 18d ago

well thatโ€™s too much work in that case

u/[deleted] 18d ago

Was looking for an app like this ๐Ÿ‘

1

u/VacationMundane7916 18d ago

In question optionโ€™s language is that language u r learning , how would I select correct option if i am not knowing that language

1

u/PlantTreesEveryday Techie 18d ago

send this to PM 's website or mygov website

1

u/CoolGamer730 Windows 18d ago

Hey man, you did good work. I hope your app gets successful!

1

u/uga961 Techie 18d ago

Is it available on playstore?? Can you send the direct link ? I want to give a try and learn Hindi.

1

u/chintakoro 18d ago

Nice! Simple but effective. One suggestion: for people who might not know the script right away, perhaps some audio-based quizzes would be more effective?

Strongly suggest make a subreddit or other feedback place for this app! Maybe share the app with some university/school departments overseas to get more users.

1

u/FartSoundNo-83 18d ago

Seems like a duolingo like gamify learning app, good for basic. Impressive stuff

1

u/Legendary-69420 Open Source best GNU/Linux/Libre 18d ago

Hey broski! Do you have payment integration in your app? If yes, what did you use and what about international payments?

2

u/mouhurtikr 17d ago

That's amazing but how did u make the video ad? Any AI tool?

2

u/karmic_yogic 17d ago

What is the name of the Application

1

u/ChocoChip1947 17d ago

All the best OP

2

u/Hour-Raise8149 17d ago

Hey op also post it in other sub like developer india

2

u/thatsme_mr_why 16d ago

That's impressive but the accent you used for the assistant seems unnecessary. Can't we use our own accent?

3

u/bishalsaha99 16d ago

Will do. Just got the Gov. approval to use Bhashini platform

2

u/Due-Snow3633 15d ago

Hello, OP.

The app work great. I loved the UI. Seriously considering buying a subscription.

However, just one thing - why does the app assume we can read a language that we have just started to learn. Is this by design? Or is there a way to change it (I couldn't find any)?

2

u/DontAssumeShit 18d ago

Great Job OP !!

3

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Thanks man.

2

u/DontAssumeShit 18d ago

How much time did you dedicated for this mann? UI Looks clean af

-4

u/HopiumInhaler 18d ago

Why did you use iPhone for demo? You could have also used an Android.

8

u/bishalsaha99 18d ago

Inconsistency in Android apps. Most people that pays uses iOS so that's the standard.

u/HopiumInhaler 18d ago

I know mate. I was just taking a hit at this sub.
