simjanos-dev/linguacafe is self-hosted learning software named LinguaCafe, a tool that helps foreign-language learners read texts in other languages. It also includes the ability to look up unknown words while reading and review them later. The latest release tag on record is v0.14.1.
Self-hosting means running the program directly on a server you manage yourself, without signing up for a separate service. LinguaCafe bundles reading comprehension, dictionary lookup, and vocabulary review into one. The flow is to look up the meaning of an unknown word through dictionary lookup, then bring those words back later through vocabulary review. The core is repeated learning while reading texts in multiple languages. The README describes it as free software that helps you build vocabulary through reading. The implementation language is Vue and the license is GPL-3.0. The repository was created on September 20, 2022, and is recorded with 1,472 GitHub stars.
However, the changelog for v0.14.1 is not included in the information given. There is no way to know what was added in this release. The range of supported languages and the limits of the learning features are also unconfirmed. There are no measurements of performance or learning effectiveness either. So this repository is worth reading only to the extent of confirming that it is a self-hosted app bundling reading comprehension, dictionary lookup, and vocabulary review. What changed in v0.14.1 should be judged only after checking the release notes directly.
