We designed Yak Tack to help you boost your vocabulary in a matter of days. We use a simple, scientifically proven technique called spaced repetition to get people past the "Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve" when learning new words.
I got tired of reading a new word, looking it up, then reading it again somewhere else the next week only to forget what it meant! Other people told me similar stories.
So we created Yak Tack on top of a proven learning technique, Spaced Repetition (specifically the Leitner system), to help broaden people's vocabulary and help them remember words.
We built it to be simple, focused, and effective.
Yak Tack has live for a few years now in web form, and people around the world have been using Yak Tack daily.
And now, we're a native mobile app on iOS and Android!
I'd love for you all to download the app, kick the tires, and let me know what you think.
@reginaldstokes thanks! Peripatetic is another word I love, although it has fallen out of use given its non-utility in this worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
@jgrahamthomas would you like some feedback? I've been signed up for *checks post date* ten days now and could give some constructive criticism if that's welcome.
@kevinwhitlow Right on. While Yak Tack's super useful for native speakers (I use it all the time), I think this is likely to be our niche; helping non-native speakers boost their English vocab. I'm glad you like that feature!
