I rarely go back to past chats and find that I will just ask a similar question a second time because in all likelihood the answer will be better the second time.

Mirroring code-switching -- side-by-side reading was thinking more of each pair of book pages being connected. I was able to get into a good flow, but maybe the English should only be visible on highlight.
Interlinear code-switching -- more fully translation-focused, seeing both languages at the same time. When trying it, I find I need to focus more on not defaulting to the English, which feels like cheating.
Progressive code-switching -- translation progressed in complexity based on word frequency and book length. This still feels like the most appealing learning curve when trying it.
I'm finding that "design mode" is being overused and underdelivering. Many of the tools with some design mode remove agency through the abstraction of the tool into a prompt. We still need buttons and sliders sometimes.

Stick with things even when theyโre uncomfortable; steady patience turns โthis kinda sucksโ into real progress with habits, skills, or long-term projects.
Not a perfect 1:1 translation, but a gradual introduction of a new language through inline context. Like how friends in college would seamlessly switch between multiple languages mid-conversation.
@kepano to me, tts makes content more accessible. I think of the voices more like typefaces sure, some are better than others, but really it's just my entry point to consuming the content. Listening while annotating and then saving removes a lot of cognitive cruft for me.
@kepano I listen to everything I read, selecting text, triggering TTS, and annotating across separate interfaces is a lot of friction. would love to open the clipper, start listening, and focus on notes + highlighting all in one UI.
