not sure how to use this app.

Absolutely no idea how to use the app either. It wanted me to type an s word? So I typed store and hit enter, it gave me the definition of store. Very very confusing workflow.

Also absolutely clueless how this relates to a LLM.

You look up a word in the dictionary and tap the heart next to its definition (as the tooltip suggests) to save it. The Hearts page (https://flowery.app/hearts) is your personal vocabulary list, and the Cards page (https://flowery.app/cards) generates cloze deletion flashcards for your hearts, which is where the LLM steps in.
Makes sense but I think the main issue with the workflow is that the user is having to type words out? As a vocab builder it would be nice to do more suggestive words or something that does not force me to type in words.
You can quickly populate the search box by tapping any word (or highlighting on desktop) in the hybrid dictionary/thesaurus.

As I mentioned in another comment though, the ideal workflow would be an integrated ebook reader that lets you tap words without context switching.

Glad I’m not the only one. I was left baffled at what I should be doing, thought it was because I was on my phone
very confusing UI
