Personal product · Build 1.6 and App Store assets are ready
NAQYL
NAQYL brings together proverbs from the Kazakh, Russian, Kyrgyz, English, Japanese, and Chinese traditions plus a scientific lexicon. Each one is broken down into literal meaning, meaning, and the situation it fits.
Why it is interesting
The app works as a trainer: spaced repetition, a guessing game, voice practice where you use a proverb in your own words, on-device semantic search, widgets, and notifications. It works fully offline.
My contribution
I built a custom corpus of 5,883 entries selected from 49,233 candidates by a Python pipeline that tracks provenance at every stage. I developed the iOS app in SwiftUI and SwiftData (72 Swift files, 248 commits in two weeks) and a small Cloudflare Worker layer with rate limiting.
Team
A personal product: conceived, built, and prepared for release by me.
Current stage
Archive 1.6 (11) is built and the App Store text and screenshots are ready; the App Store release is still ahead.
