Work
Notes on our own products.
The work we can show is the software we make ourselves. There is no client wall on this page, and no result we cannot point at.
Language learning
Daily Word
One word. Every day.
Problem
Language study is easy to abandon when the habit asks for a streak, an account or a feed. The useful unit is smaller than a course.
Approach
Make the daily unit one word, and give each language its own app. Put the word on the lock screen, where the morning already is. Keep meaning, pronunciation and an example in the app for later. Offer a quiz, and let it wait.
Implementation
The four apps are Daily Korean Word, Daily Dutch Word, Daily Chinese Word and Daily Japanese Word. Each one shows a word on the lock screen and can place it on the home screen. Inside, the word has a meaning, a spoken pronunciation and an example sentence. You can save a share card, or take a quiz and skip it. The privacy policy on dailyword.it says the apps collect no personal data, have no account, include no analytics or ads and store their word lists on the device. They are free, with no subscription.
Outcome
The family is public at dailyword.it, and each language has an App Store listing. The product site's Android buttons go to a Play Store search, so this page does not treat those as confirmed listings.

Language learning
Hangul Snap
Get comfortable with Hangul, one step at a time.
Problem
A daily Korean word still assumes you can read the script. For a lot of learners, that is the first thing in the way.
Approach
Treat Hangul as its own product. Daily Korean Word can stay a one-word habit, and Hangul Snap can stay with the writing system. The two are companions, not two modes of one app.
Implementation
Hangul Snap is scoped to recognising Hangul. Platform and lesson detail lives at hangulsnap.com.
Outcome
The public address is hangulsnap.com. This page does not state a store listing.

Local information
Boyoung
Ask people nearby what's happening before you go.
Problem
A listing can show that a place exists and still say nothing about the queue, the crowd or whether it is worth going now.
Approach
Ask a few people who are actually nearby. Keep each conversation private, and hide exact locations from other users. Start with Seoul, including Seongsu, rather than pretending to cover everywhere.
Implementation
The public site is a private beta in Seoul. People join by invitation. It covers searching for a place, finding people who have marked themselves available, sending a question to up to five of them and talking with each one separately. You can rate an answer and pause your own availability. English and Korean are both in scope.
Outcome
The public address is boyoung.innerfuse.dev. Joining takes an invitation, and there is no public download.

Learning
You Can Learn
You can learn it.
Problem
Someone with a small question often meets a course platform first: an account, a subscription and a syllabus longer than the question.
Approach
Make the resource something a person can finish alone. Keep the explanation plain, keep the scope small and leave the account form out.
Implementation
You Can Learn is that collection. The terms are small lessons, clear explanations, no subscription and a pace the learner sets. Korean, programming and other practical skills are the subjects in view. The lesson list itself lives on the product site.
Outcome
The public address is youcanlearn.it.

Housing
Konbi
Read the documents before you sign.
Problem
A listing can name a flat and still leave a foreign renter unsure who owns it, what the public documents say, or what to ask the agent in Korean.
Approach
Check one named property. Explain the documents in the renter's language and draft the questions for the licensed agent. A person reviews the report before it is sent. Negotiating, signing and legal advice stay out.
Implementation
There is no public release. The plan is a chat, with a person reviewing every report. Konbi does not publish property listings, and it does not take payment.
Outcome
There is no public website and no paid check yet.
Product page
Events
KoreaStay
Find people going to the same event.
Problem
Going to an event alone usually means a crowded group chat, or a marketplace that asks for a new app and takes the booking.
Approach
Match people who are already going to the same event, for a shared stay or a meetup. Keep the conversation in Telegram. Leave the booking with them.
Implementation
The product is built for a Telegram chat. A person reviews the first introductions. The public site has no events to join yet.
Outcome
The public address is koreastay.innerfuse.dev. There are no events to join yet.
