Show HN: Browser Extension to make a language test out of any website https://bit.ly/2NTL09z

Show HN: Browser Extension to make a language test out of any website I was preparing to German C1 recently and my vocabulary was the bottleneck. I didn't want to read boring materials and do boring exercises. Instead I noticed that there are sites in German, which I naturally enjoy. So I just made an extension to make language tests out of them. The approach is the following: 1) Open an interesting webpage in your target language. 2) Select text. 3) The extension replaces some words with gaps. 4) Read the text, fill in the gaps. Obviously just typing random words out of the blue can be overwhelming, so there is a mode to drag&drop words from a list into the correct places. I personally see this as active reading. My brain not only consumes information, but always try to guess the word from the context. I suspect that this helps with active vocabulary (i.e. to actually use the new words in writing). In the end I passed C1 exam (obviously I did other preparations too, not only this extension). This is a beta version for now and it is 100% free: Chrome: https://bit.ly/3qTIuPi Firefox: https://mzl.la/3aTaxsI If you didn't enjoy my explanation skills, there is an example video here: https://bit.ly/2ZPAMd6 I would love to hear whether you find this useful and your ideas how I could improve it. I might add payed features eventually to help developing the extension further, but I don't know a good mechanism to do this. I understand that 1$ in the US is very different from 1$ in e.g. India. I want this extension to bring value to everyone independently of their location and financial state. My current plan is to have the base version (i.e. like now) always free, since this already provides majority of value. Curious to hear your thoughts. February 25, 2021 at 09:41AM

Show HN: Summarize IPs (bulk geo, asn, privacy report for IP addresses) https://bit.ly/3sn4ORF

Show HN: Summarize IPs (bulk geo, asn, privacy report for IP addresses) We recently launched a free tool that shows a summary of the top cities, countries, asns, routes and much of the other context that we (IPinfo) have for any IP addresses you paste into it. Sample results: https://bit.ly/2MovSAI You can paste any arbitrary text into the tool at https://bit.ly/3uvmMDi and we'll extract the IPs. It can be useful for getting a quick summary of a set of IPs (eg. click on first google result for "public proxies", copy and paste the results into the tool, and see where the proxies are located, and the networks they're on), for investigating issues (eg. your website gets a large spike of traffic, paste the recent IPs from your access log into the tool and see if there's a specific network that stands out), threat investigation, debugging and more. We're planning to add more functionality and data points in the near future, and any feedback or suggestions are very welcome! February 24, 2021 at 05:16PM
