I went from Vim to Sublime Text 3 to VS Code, in the end it's all about what helps you work faster/better. There isn't in my opinion a choice to make here, really depends on the task you want to achieve. VS Code works fine for my projects.
(I still use sublime to quickly edit text but I was really disappointed with their latest version)
As this becomes a bigger topic, I always wonder if there isn't an interesting technological solution to be had. Will there be a time in the future where we have satellite coverage of the globe, that has high-res real-time imagery? Could we attach cameras to Starlink satellites as an example? It seems like there would be a huge market for a service like this from governments and the like.
We are a video-based language learning website and app. You could think of us as the intersection between Duolingo and YouTube, all built around an Anki shell. Seedlang's content was created in collaboration with a well known German teacher on YouTube, the host of a channel called Easy German. The channel has almost 1 million subscribers, and so our site and app has a great distribution channel.
We are just starting to expand our development team, and are looking for people that are as obsessed with life-long learning as we are. You can learn more at: http://www.seedlang.com/jobs

You might also try my website (and soon to be app) Seedlang: http://www.seedlang.com. It is a site for learning German, and later this year Spanish, French, and English. It uses video flashcards to create different learning experiences, and ties them all together with a Anki-like review deck where any word or sentence encountered on the site can be saved.
I built a website (and soon an app) for learning German, that has a focus on both grammar and vocabulary. We have a frequency list with the top 5000 German words. And we are a video-driven site, so each word has a video. And most words also have sentences (also each with a video). This is good for getting a feel for the spoken language, and hearing the vocabulary used in context. You can check it out here: http://www.seedlang.com
I started with German about a year and a half ago via Mango Languages. I love the app because it approaches languages via phrases and conversations instead of vocabulary (like Duolingo)
Your site looks really promising... I will definitely give it a shot!
What was your driver for creating it? Language is a very competitive space these days.
I used Duolingo for a couple of languages, got pretty far in Italian and tried some German. I found it either too slow, or too beginner-ish; I didn't feel like I was learning much, and it didn't help me read news websites / novels much. While I do like the approach - specifically, the use of words in context, and the variety in exercises - it didn't really do it for me (Severin, if you're reading this - sorry, man!)
Duolingo starts at the beginning. If you think a skill is too easy, try testing out of it to get to a higher level or advance faster.
Duolingo says they don't currently aim too teach beyond A2/B1, so you may already be past that.
Having learnt a few languages with and without duolingo, I think you will usually need 2000+ words in a language, and close to 90% of the grammar to read native texts well. Duolingo can get you quite close to, but not past that mark.
Hi, here I am typing, what is the big deal. I can't even see what the progress is or what danger I might be in. What is the dsignifier of my danger? The typography is nice. But I don't know what my purpose is here. Is this a metaphor for life? What is my purpose, I won't know until the game is already over? How have I determined if I'm winning or losing? Who keeps score anyway? How many questions can I ask in one paragraph? Is this a self-interview or something? What I should have done is read more about this before I started. Maybe the goal is to get 500 words before the timer is over? At which point I have failed? And that's why so many people gave a count when they were posting on HN, it was just that in 5 minutes they were only able to manage 300 words? Could be. Could not be. That is a question meant to fill up space. And what is the point of filling up space if all that life is a kind of filling up of space. We dont' know if anything means anything, we might just be atoms floating around - or molecules floating around the universe. Star dust or whatever. But what is the point of this stardust sitting here typing for five minutes, only to find out if he's won or lost. I"m not on place to get 500 words, but is 500 words just a construct of my own mind? Did anyone even mention 500 words? What I had assumed was that as I typed there would be ever vanishing text that would sort of creep on my current progress, eventually overtaking it. And that would lead to a feeling of stress and turmoil. This doesn't feel stressful or full of turmoil at all, more of confusion. Ok, I just noticed that my cursor is red. Was it always red? Does it mean I'm running out of time? My guess is that it does mean something but that I'm overstating it's meaning. Well that's another metaphor. We run through life overstating meaning again and again, missing the things that are actually meaningful. Ok, my time is over. I think it's ove
