Experience
Qahva | Vocabulary Learning Tool
http://qahva.kannagi.cafeA Next.js and MongoDB project for learning new words. I developed both the front end and the back end. This tool allows users to create word lists, learn new words, and keep track of learning progress. As a polyglot and linguaphile myself, I noticed that word list tools like Quizlet or Memorize don't support some languages, such as Kanji for Japanese, Uyghur script, and languages with complex conjugations. Therefore I decided to create my own tool.
