This is awesome! Good job on it :) Wish you had a mailing list signup - I don't want to forget about this!

I took a one month Spanish class in Mexico a few years ago. It was amazing for giving me a solid base, and your tool would be perfect for getting regular practice in and learning new things.

Definitely agree with the other comments that a more modern book would be better. For me, probably a children's book haha. I can't imagine how much time it takes to translate though!

Idea:

- Create a list of a few books you could translate.

- Allow users to donate and select the book it would go towards.

- When donations reach the threshold, they're charged and you write it.

Like Kickstarter for book translations haha. Or maybe Patreon or something has that feature.

I also took a peak at your code and saw the manifest. This would be a pretty awesome PWA :)

I hope you keep at it!
