This looks nice and similar to toucan [1]. I have built something similar but a bit different for the web [2]. Happy, to share the code in a non-so-permissive license with you if you plan to build out web support.
If it's written in American English, wouldn't you rather know that from the start? I'd be more annoyed to have all the U's removed after my O's and still see a UK flag.
It's just marketing guys, think of it as political pandering, more population, more patriotic population(emotional attachment), etc. I'm sure we all agree that America is more linguistically and geographically "challenged"(market potential) than the Brits yeah?.... sooo market where the market is. As for Brazil, that's a sheer population decision. They tried to shove Spain's version of spanish audio translation into the latin american portion of the new world (the thinking I guess was since america loves the british accent in movies... but it flopped.... now Hollywood/movie industry recruits voices from Mexico and other latam countries.
Just tried Toucan and it can't be disabled on localhost, a major pain for using it during work as an engineer. For those that haven't used toucan, it's an extension that translates words/phrases inline on a page with various levels of replacement frequency and complexity based on your proficiency with the language.
Nice idea - although I hate having to start from scratch and having to "train" the system to know my level and vocabulary. I think it's a bummer that it's not common to be be able to exchange vocabulary lists between apps.
i want to keep track of where my site ranks compared to other sites for groups of keywords and want to be able to track progress of getting the site to rank better and across search engines… i’m mostly looking for tools that will require minimum manual work, are simple to use and understand, don’t require a team and can automate stuff. of course i will need to tweak pages, that will still be me doing it.
Free tools work great for traffic. What’s the best way to convert users into paying users after?
I have tried a lot of things for my side project like limited generations of the output and then putting a signup requirement if you want to use the tool more often but people are simply not converting to the main solution.
Love tRPC. I have built two side projects [1][2] now with it and its just so smooth. When I introduced the tool to some other people I worked with, they were amazed on how fast it is. Usually it takes some time to create frontend schemas from backend endpoints but tRPC is just so fast.
Thanks to the creator. Literally made me a more efficient developer!

- https://caseconverter.pro/app - was more experimentation than anything else, paste a JSON and get converted keys
- https://getworkrecognized.com - Could never reach market-fit with that. Wanted to really focus on the employee sides with brag documents but no employee will ever pay by themselves for such a tool
- http://linkedium.com - was a LinkedIn Scheduling tool, was just annoyed at some point with that. Might spin it up again this year. So never launched
Might put them up for sell somewhere. Maybe someone is interested to grow these or find product-market fit. But focusing on some other ideas I have right now.
What I learnt: I am really bad at Marketing and Sales and have a lot to learn there. Will focus on other target customers and trying to niche down with the projects I am working on right now and want to work on soon. Maybe finding someone who is good at it and partnering up might be something to look into.
Also, SEO and content is working to generate traffic. If you can convert the traffic it is a goldmine. The Google Search Console for getworkrecognized looks promising honestly.
