Conjuga
A conjugation trainer for a language most tools quietly skip.
The question
I studied Catalan at Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona and found the same gap every learner finds: Spanish and French have excellent conjugation tools, and Catalan — with well over ten million speakers and a famously irregular verb system — has almost nothing usable. So I built the thing I needed while I was learning it.
What I built
A fast, searchable Catalan verb conjugator covering the full paradigm, deployed on a custom domain with HTTPS and deep links that resolve correctly to individual verbs.
The hard part — Deep links that return the right status code
A single-page app on static hosting normally serves unknown paths as a 404 with the app inside it, so a link to a specific verb technically reports failure while visibly working. It breaks link previews and search indexing quietly.
The deployment rewrites 403 and 404 to the app entry point with a genuine HTTP 200, so a direct link to any verb resolves properly — the same pattern now used across every hosted project here.
What this does not tell you
- Standard orthography; dialectal variants are not differentiated.
