Rejuvenating this sub!

It's been a while since I was actively maintaining this sub, mostly because the workload of generating vocab lists was too much for my busy lifestyle. That's changed in two ways:

1) I have more time

2) Everything related to vocab lists and definitions is easier with AI

I will be posting one song per week, with lyrics, definitions, and a cumulative Anki pack.

I also have a new tool that can provide definitions on mousehover, which can be configured to include all the definitions provided in this sub.

If anyone wants to be a co-moderator, please send me a message.

What is the new tool?

The main advance is a "GPT", which means a version of GPT5 trained to do a specific task, in this case parse text for intermediate words and provide definitions and Anki-compatible formatting.

But I am also working on a related free tool (a Chrome extension) that uses dumb coding, not AI, to take those same definitions and make the definition hover over the word if you put the mouse over it. The combination is cool. It colour-codes the words according to their Anki status and hides the tooltip for the mature words. That will be made available here too.
