Hey there, I made a little tool for looking up articles of German nouns. You can enter a word and it will show you if it's der, die, or das. I made it for myself initially but Thomas convinced me to share it in case someone else's also in the same boat -- not needing a translator or dictionary but occasionally looking up articles. It's a progressive web app which means you can add it to the home screen of your iOS or Android phone and use as just any other app. It's totally free. Well, because it's a lil side project. Share it with your German-learning friends πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ🍻 or buy me a coffee if you want to support the project.

Great job! Going to recommend it to german learning friends. One issue though: To test it out, I typed "Tomate" / "Paradeiser" they didn't show. Are they missing? Other words worked fine though :)

@maccosmo seems so. I'll add them. If a word is missing, it suggests you to request an article for it. Then, it will be scheduled for scraping. I've implemented a system that automatically scrapes articles for missing words from trustworthy dictionaries (whose rules allow it).

@alex_chernikov You might want to add the suggest button also in the case when there are results -- except the one you are looking for. In the case of "Tomate" I had several suggestions, but not for the word "Tomate" itself and the suggest was missing :) Other than that its a really nice product :)

@alex_chernikov @maccosmo agree! Checked it with "Tomate" too – it's indeed missing yet no request button. I'll improve that ;)

love the ux but also especially the simplicity & clarity in the value proposition compare building & launching der-die-das to the risk and complexity of raising money to build a more sophisticated language learning app to launch within a few months (I know it is not the same but that's kind of what I want to get across) kudos for launching and sharing this @alex_chernikov

Great job, does it also show if a noun is akuzatif or dativ? That's the wall I hit when learning German.

Nice tool! I forwarded it to someone who is learning german right now and she would like to see the plural form etc. of the words.

A little bug is here:
Kelsey Kappel
love this idea! Seems like it will come in handy quite often.
Jesus Mejuto
Simple and useful! I wonder if there could be a gamified mode to learn the gender of the most common words.
Josef Strzibny
Nice. Would be great to accept the word in the URL.
Marvin Borisch
It's simple. It's clean and as far as I can tell, very correct. :)

May I remix this app for my own language ?makers

Came across this a while back and started using it regularly now for my German classes. You totally rock for making this :)
