Vibecode LingQ Premium
track this build5 steps, step by step0%The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For LingQ Premium, import permitted text and audio, mark known words, and review vocabulary in context. The hard boundary is content library, import pipeline, multi-device sync, community, tutors, and polish, plus content, pedagogy, and network.
You are building a lean indie version of LingQ Premium. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # LingQ Premium indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core LingQ Premium workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Import permitted text and audio, mark known words, review vocabulary in context, schedule retrieval practice from a study plan, and show progress without claiming accredited instruction. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - content library, import pipeline, multi-device sync, community, tutors, and polish - licensed course catalog - expert curriculum - human feedback - large learner network and certification If those capabilities are essential, use Moodle instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build a personal replacement for LingQ Premium in an empty repository. Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, SQLite, Drizzle ORM, and a service worker for offline use; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: import permitted text and audio, mark known words, review vocabulary in context, schedule retrieval practice from a study plan, and show progress without claiming accredited instruction. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Import Markdown, text, or user-authored notes and split them into editable learning units. Create flashcards and short quizzes only after showing the generated items for approval. Implement a transparent spaced-repetition schedule with due, again, hard, good, and easy actions. Add goals, study sessions, streak-free progress charts, notes, and weak-topic review. For language practice, record the learner and compare timing or pronunciation without presenting medical claims. Support offline use, full export, reset, backup, and deletion of all learning data. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Deliberately leave out licensed premium courses. Deliberately leave out accredited certificates and grading. Deliberately leave out live tutors, large classrooms, and a learner marketplace. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. ## Required capabilities - modern browser - user-supplied study material - optional speech or language-model API key ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file. APP_ENV=development # Add only values required by the selected implementation.

Contain the issue without destroying evidence or user data. 2. Record the timeline and affected scope. 3. Rotate exposed secrets and revoke compromised sessions or credentials. 4. Restore from a verified source when needed. 5. Document the root cause, remediation, and regression test. ## Launch constraint Do not market omitted LingQ Premium capabilities as implemented. The v1 non-goals in `PRODUCT.md` remain user-visible limitations until they are deliberately delivered.

People still pay for LingQ Premium because the learning loop is buildable, while trusted curriculum, instructors, feedback, credentials, and community are not. The recurring cost buys curriculum quality, assessment validity, content rights, spaced-repetition tuning, speech models, sync, moderation, and support, not just the visible interface.

Vibecode LingQ Premium
Kinda. The core of LingQ Premium is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: content library, import pipeline, multi-device sync, community, tutors, and polish, licensed course catalog. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does LingQ Premium cost?
LingQ Premium costs about $14.99/month (Premium, checked 2026-07-31), which is $179.88 per year.
What do I lose by replacing LingQ Premium?
Honestly: content library, import pipeline, multi-device sync, community, tutors, and polish; licensed course catalog; expert curriculum; human feedback; large learner network and certification. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to LingQ Premium?
Yes: Lute (Import text and audio, mark every word by familiarity and review it in context; this is the unusually exact one.) Learning with Texts (The older, homelier version of the same idea: imported texts, audio, known-word states and contextual review.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
