Two things shipped in Vocabbie this week, and both exist because users wrote to me.
Think in the language
A new practice game. Instead of translating a word back to your own language, you stay inside the one you are learning: the prompt, the options, the feedback, all of it. Translating is a crutch, and the moment you can stop doing it is the moment a language starts to feel like yours. A user asked for exactly this, in a long and specific email, and it was too good an idea to leave in the inbox.
Merge decks
On the Learn page, swipe right on two or more decks and you can merge them into one. Also a user request. People generate a deck per topic with the AI, then end up with fifteen small decks they want to review together. Now they can.
Why this matters more than the features
Vocabbie has around 1,500 people using it. A handful of them take the time to write me long emails about their experience and what they wish it did. That is rare. Most feedback you get as a solo founder is a one-star review with no text, or silence.
The people who write are the ones who care, and they are usually right. I read every message, and the good ideas ship within weeks, not quarters, because there is no roadmap meeting between the email and the code. That speed is the one real advantage of being one person, and I intend to keep using it.
If you use Vocabbie and something bugs you, write to me. Long emails welcome.
