Duolingo is very much on the Enshittification path, seems like they fired a number of translators and have the rest just proofreading AI.

For the interested, here's the place where you can request your personal data and delete your account

    As far as I LOVE this kind of thing, people really should stop using Libre something for their versions. Sounds weird

    Basque AFAIK, but it's one dude. He's working on making it possible to contribute language courses without his help or much technical knowledge.

    Basically, a lot of the core code is done, what's missing is a nice UI for learning and language course editor, because at the moment it's just a bunch of files.
