Started working on my app Belugaro again. I still have a few active users, so I decided to reach out. To my surprise, I get a great response from a user about what they like and don't like about Belugaro.
This really inspired me to continue working on Belugaro #buildinpublic #indiehackers

Changed my phone language settings to Spanish a while back, it’s changed some apps too. Now when I log a walk with garmin the activity shows up as “Caminar” and it’s confusing people 😂

Taking a step back to add more analytics to my system. Does anyone have experience setting up a dashboard in Google analytics to track what a user does in a session and display it clearly?

Does anyone have a good free translation database that I could download? I’ve found the Webster api but I’m hoping there is some English-Spanish dictionary that I could just download. #buildinpublic #spanish

I’ve had some time to check out deep-seek and while I don’t have the hardware to run it locally it’s a very incredible tool. I’ve had it build out a marketing plan into succinct actionable steps.
Have you tried deep-seek yet?

Took the weekend off from #buildinpublic to have a break from work and ponder my next steps. Often we’re conditioned to just keep going and don’t stop to consider the direction we’re heading.
How do you rest?

Just added some functionality to Belugaro for myself to learn Spanish. Namely, created a easy lookup for grammar rules and some tongue twisters to listen to and practice my pronunciation. I'm really just my sole user at this point 😆

Just put together a simple recommender system API.
- AWS lambda, 'keep it simple, stupid', and avoids further configurations
- TF-IDF and cosine similarity for recommendations means minimal dependency requirements for text
- Fixed the items to recommend pending further integrations

Quick update
Published a new version of the extension for Belugaro.com. It should give users a sample of how things work without the full setup and web app analytics.
1/2 tasks done this weekend. On to the big one.

Working 9-5, I can’t work on my side projects some days. But today I was my own user, practicing Spanish on Belugaro during my commute.

So I'm building out some features for myself in Belugaro.com, which I'll tentatively call 'language packs'. The idea being a set of nouns/verbs/tenses/adjectives/phrases to discuss a particular topic or subject. #buildinpublic #learnspanish #spanish
