🖐Overview
Hello buddies, on this occasion, I will share how to create a mini version of the HayLingo application (HayWord) with FB messenger, Wit.ai (NLP), and React JS. Previously, HayLingo won 1st place in the 2020 Facebook messenger hackathon by offering HayBot, HayFriend, and HayWord features. In this case study, we will try to make HayWord feature that helps users enrich their English words by gamification of guessing words with various kinds of clues, such as synonyms, word types, definitions, and translation features.
