Here is a quick peak at HSK INK.

A new approach to learning Chinese.

More coming soon!

Solo website project: PIK STUDIO
👉 https://t.co/bGAFvwiGbn
A project bringing together surfaces, digital design, web development, and AI-powered tools.
Still building, still improving, but excited to finally start sharing the work.

Built and deployed an unofficial 7UP-inspired practice website while learning AI-assisted web development.

The speed from idea → live site is incredible.

Every project teaches something new.

One lesson from building Memzi:

Small animations make a huge difference.

Watching Lumo study for just a few seconds makes the app feel alive.

Sometimes it’s the little details that create the best user experience.

Throwback to May 13, 2026.

Found one of the first Memzi investor pages…

The website was rough. Lumo looked nothing like Lumo.

But the vision was finally becoming clear:

AI will drift your design unless you lock the system rules tightly.
Refine the prompt structure into a more controlled design framework:
• Strict proportions and rendering rules
• Expression system
• Clear constraints on variation and style

Memzi Garden from May 9, 2026

🌱 Plants grew, random butterflies, and the same image basically kept stacking upward

We tested bamboo, clover, lotus, sunflower, and plum gardens.

Still too basic in terms of actual garden mechanics.

Throwback to May 7, 2026.

As a solo developer, this was the day Memzi started feeling like a world instead of just an app.

✅ Introduced Lumo
✅ Redesigned the learning journey
✅ Learn → Review → Apply

Throwback to May 4, 2026.
Found a translation error that turned:
“这是爱”(“This is love”) into: “This is ardently love.”
Completely wrong.
So the real challenge of AI-powered learning is how to build a system that can self-check it's own work.

Today wasn’t about new features.

It was about learning GitHub, making my first commits, cleaning up 656 issues, reorganizing data structures, and improving the foundation behind Memzi.

@chams_builds Thanks for the kind comment Chaminda!

[Aidan Pham @aidan_pham]

The moment you think a feature is finished, you find more things to improve.
After testing the sentence-building exercises, dictionary, progress tracking, and the bookstore. Spotted a few missing features, usability issues, and bugs.

Throwback to March 29, 2026.

I learned a painful startup lesson:

Always check your brand name before building.

Hanzigo was already taken, so I had to rename the entire project to Memzi.

[Aidan Pham @aidan_pham]

Eight years ago, I moved from Canada to China without knowing any Chinese.
Now, I'm building Memzi: Living World, a new type of language-learning APP that combines gaming, exploration, and structured learning.

Day 1 begins today.
