NativePal is getting a makeover 💅 To make it consistent with the new paywalls and upcoming scenarios feature 🤩 - Text instead of icons and moved suggestions for better UX - Even more gradienty and blurry UI 😁 - Experimenting with Shadcn UI What do you think? #buildinpublic

Couldn’t be more excited!!! Apparently language #5 will be not French, but Swedish 😁🇸🇪 Nu kör vi! 🚀

👀

Experimenting with UI for the new "Scenarios" feature. Want to step away from the basic chat layout and make it a bit more game-like. I think I like how it looks so far (still WIP) but would love to hear opinions 🥹 #buildinpublic

Video Series on Animations with @rive.app and @flutter.dev is out!! 🎉 Subscribe to my channel to view the series => www.youtube.com/@romanjustco... Video Playlist => www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S8D... Link to the Repo - github.com/romanejaquez... Enjoy!! 👍

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I now have tiktok 😂 I have literally no idea what I’m doing, so watch me learn and cringe while I do that 😁 It will be about my apps only, so don’t expect silly dances!!! (or maybe do, who knows, who knows 😁😂) vm.tiktok.com/ZNeoYNXvA/

We're working on a new feature in NativePal: practice specific scenarios to master the situational vocabulary you need. A quick 5-minute chat before heading into a cafe for 'un café con leche de avena, por favor' 😝 #buildinpublic

January was very productive for NativePal 🥹 - Suggestions for things to write/say - Audio messages from pals for listening practice - Voice messages + pronunciation analysis for speaking practice - Various ASO experiments More coming in February!

It’s approved on iOS!!! 1.6.0 with speaking practice is out 🥹 In review in PlayStore too, so hoping it will be out on Android super soon too 😍

And NativePal 1.6.0 is sent for review on iOS (and Android following asap), which will finally introduce speaking practice 🤩 Also testing a new icon 🐱

Current state of voice messages and speech analysis in NativePal, some polishing and should be available to everyone in a couple of days 🥹 #buildinpublic

First look at the upcoming voice messages feature 😍 Speaking practice is the most important in language learning and this should help with conversation skills 🥹 UI is still WIP, not sure where the best place is for the mic icon. And also speech analysis is in progress! #buildinpublic

Between big features of NativePal I try to occasionally insert some UI polishing and I think the new first screen turned out cute 🥹 P.S. I’ll probably redo the onboarding flow entirely eventually, but for now it’s this 🤪 #buildinpublic

Started working on a suuuper exciting feature for @NativePal: 1. Record voice messages to practice speaking with your pal 2. In parallel, get feedback on your pronunciation 🤩 And once all of this is in place (asap!!), we’ll work on exercises to practice YOUR pain points 🥹

The new newsletter issue is out! The second one this month :) Aiming to post about my experience every 2 weeks, let's see how long I'll last 😜 dariadroid.substack.com/p/how-to-loc... #buildinpublic

Sending a new issue of my newsletter tomorrow, about the challenges of localizing @NativePal into 55 languages 🙀 If you don't want to miss it, make sure to subscribe :) dariadroid.substack.com/subscribe

This is out in version 1.5.0 🤩 Not all voices in all languages are perfect, e.g. there is a male sounding voice in Latvian, but not female in Google TTS 🥲 OpenAI is optimised for English & you clearly hear that. Azure doesn’t let me sign up 🤪 But we’ll get there 😁 #buildinpublic

Unbelievable, but 1.5.0 is now available on both platforms, iOS and Android 🥰

The day has come: unless Playstore flips out on me again 🤞🏽, Android users will finally be able to enjoy all of the new features of NativePal 🤪 50+ languages, custom pals, notifications, suggestions and audio messages (with “bug fixes & performance improvements” ofc 😁)

Sending audio messages from pals to AppStore review tomorrow 🤩 Added an option to speed it up if you want level hard or slow down to make sure you get everything 🥰 p.s. when in doubt, just slap on a mesh gradient 😂 via O’Mesh by @renan.flutter.community of course! #buildinpublic

Added "Flutter Design Patterns and Best Practices" to the #Flutter books @dariadroid.flutter.community @esrakadah.bsky.social @jaimeblasco.com docs.flutter.dev/resources/bo...

Our pals now have voices!!! 🥹 First step to full listening / speaking support. UI is just a working version to test the API, will come up with something nicer when it will be ready for release ☺️ #buildinpublic

Instagram algorithms are now showing me language learning apps ads non stop, so I’m checking them all out 🤪

The suggestions are live in version 1.4.0 already (iOS only for now) 🤩 Promise that I’ll add just one more feature (audio messages from pals!) and then will ensure full feature parity with android 🤪

In case you missed it: my latest newsletter with some random optimization tips I applied in my apps 😊 substack.com/home/post/p-... #buildinpublic
