The challenge
Cyrillic is the wall most would-be Russian learners never get over. Generic language apps rarely treat the script itself as the first hurdle, and few offer both structured memorisation and real conversational practice in one place - let alone as something you can install and open every day.
The brief was a focused daily-habit app: master the alphabet and vocabulary through repetition, then practise using it, across an English, German and Russian interface.
What we built
We built Daily Cyrillic on Next.js as an installable PWA through our custom SaaS development practice. A spaced-repetition engine schedules vocabulary for review, and an AI conversation layer built with our AI integration consulting approach lets learners actually use what they have memorised.
A set of free tools sits at the front of the product, structured with our technical SEO approach to bring learners in and convert them into daily users.
The result
Daily Cyrillic shipped as a fast, installable, multi-interface learning app that pairs spaced repetition with AI conversation - built around the daily-return habit that language learning actually requires.
