This is probably a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me make a gamified Spanish vocabulary web application.

For context I’m working on this Chinese vocab app Repository: https://github.com/GreenAnts/HSK-3.0-Study-Game Website: https://greenants.github.io/HSK-3.0-Study-Game/

I was hoping to either: a. expand it to multiple languages and beef up the actual “gameplay” to feel more gamified and less like a flashcard app - while still keeping the high vocab repetition. (someone on Lemmy recommended making it like the game “minutequest” which I was not previously familiar with, but might be a good direction) b. create a separate application all together, focused purely on Spanish.

The primary goal for the app is:

• Libre: Free and open source, easily accessible via browser, now sign-in, etc.
• Vocab focused: Not trying to “teach” the language or create yet another “duolingo” clone. I want it to feel more like an Anki deck to get high repetition of vocabulary in.
• Gamified: Too many “gamified” apps are not actually fun or even interesting in my opinion. I always have a hard time sticking with things, and I want to create something that is easy to open up and get addicted to the repetition enough to actually want to use it and start memorizing vocabulary.

Disclaimer: I have some programming experience, but I am pretty much a beginner without much work experience in the programming/IT field, and have been relying on “vibe coding” mostly to get work on these projects. While I know that is a huge turn-off, my main goal is to get the app actually created and usable - and if other experienced devs are willing to contribute, then obviously we would be able to have more maintainable infrastructure non-reliant on “ai-slop”.

Like I said, I know this is a long shot, but I figured I would reach out and try regardless. Right now I was just starting to go through and create a rough draft of vocab words (https://github.com/GreenAnts/Spanish-Vocabulary) and will try to build up a foundational JSON before kicking off the web app. If anyone is interested in contributing I would love some help :)

Also, (mostly) shameless plug for my other long term project that I am hoping to get collaborators on [https://github.com/GreenAnts/Amalgam_Webgame] - an abstract 2 player strategy board game.

Anyways, regardless - I hope everyone out there is having a good day, and staying safe in these crazy times. ✊
