@ycombinator @byAmirHanna @TheErikDahl I can’t wait to tell my girlfriend. She’s been addicted to Duolingo and has a 365+ streak. If she’s willing to break that for Parrot you got yourself a goldmine @byAmirHanna

@ycombinator @byAmirHanna @TheErikDahl Really interesting approach — using short-form content to drive real learning outcomes is no small challenge. Excited to see how Parrot scales it.

@ycombinator @byAmirHanna @TheErikDahl What's the key retention mechanic that keeps users coming back daily? Curious how Parrot balances the addictive scrolling with actual language retention and spaced repetition for long-term learning outcomes!
