Show HN: I made an iOS app blocker that helps you learn new words

1 pointsby gustanas2 months ago
Hello HN!<p>I created Gobble, an iOS app designed to block distracting apps until you complete your flashcard reviews.<p>I’ve been learning languages on and off for the last 10 years, and one of my favorite activities is reviewing flashcards. I know this can be a huge drain, but it is a highly efficient way to learn new words [0].<p>Flashcards aren&#x27;t a silver bullet, but I find that I can review hundreds of them if I break the sessions into shorter intervals throughout the day. The problem with reviewing flashcards on my phone, though, is that while it&#x27;s an amazing tool, it’s also incredibly easy to get distracted by other apps.<p>Right now, the app includes the full N5 Japanese vocab list, as well as basic content for French and Spanish, with more content on the way.<p>I&#x27;d love to hear your feedback!<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spaced_repetition" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spaced_repetition</a>
