Those who are assiduous LingQ users and language learning enthusiasts might have come across a similar service called “Lingua Verbum”.
Its creator claims to have been a LingQ User who decided to come up with his own app because LingQ was lacking some features he would like to use.
One of these features is one that I also wish LingQ had: the ability to read articles on the web and create LingQs without the need to import a lesson and read it on the LingQ website.
Sometimes, I don’t want to create a new lesson/course, I merely want to read that random content I found (I know that’s why LingQ comes with the pre-set “quick imports” course, but anyway)
One other feature I wish LingQ had was the ability to use it on YT/Prime Video/Netflix with double subtitles such as the “ASB Player” or “Language Reactor” web browser extensions.
Currently, we have the “Rooster Player / Language Master” extension, made by @roosterburton which is an amazing tool, but setting it up might be a bit complicated for those unfamiliar with computers usage.
I honestly wish he and the LingQ developers could work together and make those features something directly integrated with LingQ itself
It would also be great if LingQ had its own video player mobile app, such as “Lingo Tube” or “language player”, which allows users to play YouTube videos with double subtitles on their smartphones.
One last thing would be: the e-ink technology has been improving considerably, it would be great if the devs came up with optimizations for those kind of device in the future.
(I’ve bought myself a Boox Palma 2 with the intention of using the LingQ app on it to read/listen to ebooks, and I’ll share my experience here in the future after I use it for a while, I hope it is good enough in order for me to not need my Kindle for reading ebooks anymore and be on LingQ all the time instead)
