Profile

I created Parsnip (http://solarmist.net) and I'm getting ready to share the prototype I've been working on for a while now.Its an e-book reader with a parser and built-in references along with a review system.I think of it like an IDE and version control for reading books in a foreign language.Things HN might appreciate about it:* parses all of the text with NLP to provide rich-meta to the user. Conjugations, part-of-speech, and readings/pronunciation (for character based languages)* it also parses it to make an example sentence database; to create exercises out of later while reviewing* then it automatically looks up those words for you in a dictionary and other references showing them whil
