Show HN: Learn New Vocabulary Contextually through Daily Images

Just a simple app I created to to help myself with learning vocabulary contextually, and to give myself an opportunity to get instant feedback on mistakes I make in my target language.

The idea is simple: Describe an image in your target language. To help you, there are clues mapped to the image. You can interact with those clues to get example sentences, or listen to the words. Once you describe the image, you can get some (LLM) feedback. I know this is not for everyone but I personally find it super helpful. And it will also generate some smart flashcards (if you are logged in) based on any mistakes you make.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading!
