summary
A multi‑platform app called Word of the Hour posts a vocabulary item hourly across web Android iOS Roku Slack Fire TV and Electron and uses Python for three concrete jobs: word selection from a 200,000+ word corpus with frequency dependency features plus regex and sorting, 35,000+ translations crowdsourced across 40 languages via Google Sheets with Git tracking (Portuguese and Cornish especially active), and hourly posting to ~30 social pages including a Python Discord bot and a public WOTH API fetch that returns a dictionary of definitions and translations.
