I have made a website called Parallel Arabic which enables users to read Egyptian Arabic texts alongside the same text in English.

Each story features a dictionary of key words, transliteration of the text, and full native audio recordings, creating a fully self-contained learning environment without the need for outside resources. https://parallel-arabic.com/stories

There is also a section for writing where you can practice writing over 4000 words, with realtime spellchecking. The tool contains a fully featured Arabic virtual keyboard, built for english speakers.

You recently had a big SHow HN https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39895115

Reposts are fine after a year, give or take but a couple of weeks is too recent.

You don't need to delete it, it's no big deal - duplicates of all sorts happen all the time and if they end up somewhere they shouldn't be, users and/or moderators sort it out.

You could also repost somewhat earlier if there's major rework/features, etc - the point of this stuff is not to discourage people from showing their own work, just to avoid excessive samey-ness.
