Doomscroll to learn languages
Doomersion lets you learn languages by doomscrolling in them! It shows you short videos in your target language that are exactly matched to your level, and then as you scroll they get progressively harder.

There’s no language learning app that’s fun enough to spend hours a day on while still being educational. Gen Z doomscrolls an average of 2.5-3 hours a day. As it turns out, the optimal strategy for language learning is immersion with spaced repetition, and by baking immersion into the doomscrolling algorithm, Doomersion makes it fun to learn languages.
I’d really appreciate it if you guys could download Doomersion and give it a try!

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
The idea came after Mostafa spent 6 years self-studying Japanese by watching YouTube. He went deep into language learning communities and even had the most liked post in a 2 year period on r/LearnJapanese, the biggest language learning subreddit. He found that there's no app that is both fun and educational. Apps like Duolingo are fun, but there is mass frustration with them being ineffective for actual learning. The best method to language learning is immersion, or listening to native content, but that gets really boring if you don't understand any of it.
Initially, he spent a year building a language learning app that let you immerse by talking to your favorite characters in other languages, like SpongeBob, Spider-Man, etc., but found that people didn’t inherently enjoy talking to AI on a day to day basis.
So how to make immersion fun? Combine it with what Gen-Z DOES want to do on a daily basis: doomscrolling. And that’s how doomersion was born!
