Have us build the language app of your dreams
Every community has a screen called Ideas, and it is the shortest route between what you want and what exists. Any member can propose a direction for the app: a language we don't teach yet, a game, an exercise, a fix. Other members comment and back it. Five supports is the bar for our team to review it, and when an idea fits where we are going, it goes on the roadmap with a date.
Not every idea ships. A large share of them do, often within weeks. Right now, early on, the people using the app are the people deciding what it becomes — which is unusual for a language app, and unusual for software.
Propose it, gather support, watch it get built
Three steps, and you can see every one of them happening from inside your community.
Propose
One sentence is enough. Open Ideas in any community you belong to and write what you want: a feature, a fix, a game, an exercise, or a language we don't teach yet.
A real one: a member named Sofia wrote "Add Turkish to the languages we can study." That was the whole proposal.
Support
Other members read it, argue with it, sharpen it, and press Support if they want it too. Five supports is the bar that puts an idea in front of our team for review.
A real one: Sofia's Turkish idea cleared the bar and sits at eight supports.
Built
We reply to the idea either way. If it fits where the app is going, it gets a status and a date, and you watch it arrive in the app you are already using.
A real one: Turkish now reads "On the roadmap, end of October," with our reply underneath: "Five votes is the bar, and this passed it."
This one is on the roadmap
Sofia wanted to study Turkish. We teach 13 languages and Turkish was not one of them, so instead of writing to support and waiting, she opened Ideas in her community and proposed it in a single line.
Eight members backed it. Our team answered in the thread — "Five votes is the bar, and this passed it" — and the idea changed status to On the roadmap, end of October. Anyone in that community can open the same screen today and see it there, with the date on it.
That is what the screen is for. Not a survey that disappears into a spreadsheet: a place where one person's sentence turns into a line on the roadmap, in public, where the people who backed it can hold us to it.
The app changes shape in four directions
Ideas is not a bug form. These are the four kinds of thing members actually write, and all four are things we ship.
Languages we don't teach yet
The biggest thing you can ask for, and the one people ask for most. A language that gathers support goes into the queue like anything else — Turkish is on the roadmap right now because a member proposed it and eight people agreed.
New games and exercises
A review game that drills the thing you keep getting wrong. A Targeted Practice exercise for the exact situation you are dreading next week. Describe how it should play, and other members will tell you what you got wrong about it before we build it.
Fixes and small improvements
The button in the wrong place, the setting you can never find, the correction that fires too often. Small ideas move fastest, because a clear description of an irritation is most of the work of removing it.
We answer every idea
Every one, not only the ones that passed the bar. If we are building it, you get a date. If we are not, you get the reason, from the people who made the call — which is the part most software never gives you.
Ideas lives inside Communities, and Communities are free on every plan.
What we do not promise
Not every idea gets built: some do not fit where the app is going, some collide with work already underway, and those get a straight answer in the thread instead of a silent no. And we will not put a clock on it — a large share of the ideas that pass the bar ship within weeks, but often is not always, and we would rather write that here than promise a turnaround and miss it.
