The Lab is starting to do real work
I launched the Lab as a place for small language-learning tools and experiments.
At first, it was mostly structure: the catalog, the filtering, the overall shell.
Now it has its first real tool.
There is a text difficulty checker on lab.vinidiktov.com. You paste in a text, and it gives you a rough estimate of how difficult it may be to read.
Right now it supports English, Russian, German, French, and Spanish.
It is still early, and I expect the tool to change as I test it on more texts. But this feels like a real milestone to me. The Lab is no longer just a framework for future ideas. It has started to produce useful output.
That is the direction I want to keep pushing: small public tools, real experiments, and ideas that can later grow into something larger if they prove useful.
If you want to try it, it’s here:
And if you do try it, I’d love to know whether the estimate feels believable.
