I like the website.
In the language selection section at the bottom flags are images. I'd rather make them emojies: 🇬🇧, 🇪🇸.
Do you already have a plan how to promote the website?
Using flags to represent languages is wrong. Don't do that. Flags represent countries, not languages.
Yes, I get it, they look pretty in an UI but no, just don't.
A country can have multiple languages and one language can be an official language in many countries. So, no, don't.
If something I just said wasn't quite clear enough, please see: https://www.flagsarenotlanguages.com/
Agree. Not using flags at all, or using ISO 639-2 language code instead is a better choice.
BTW, Apple has replaced the multicolored country flag icons used to identify many of its different language input sources/keyboard layouts with monochrome square icons containing letters that indicate the language with version 12.4 of MacOS Monterey in 2022. Not so long ago.
