Ok. I built https://pingtype.github.io to help me learn Chinese.

The design is not "professional looking", but I don't know how to do "design". I've never been good at GUI work. I studied electronic engineering, but moved into software because I can't go to America to work and nobody outside Silicon Valley is designing chips.

Marketing is a huge problem for me too. Every time I tell people about my program, they basically ignore it. There's a company that's doing a very similar thing to study English (VoiceTube) and I had a nice Skype call with their CEO, but nothing's come of it.

It really seems like the industry is rigged to support artists and con-men, while people who actually write code are basically ignored.
