An API that translates English to Traditional, Simplified, and Pinyin Chinese!
Kimi for web UI (Awful I know I will fix in next ship probably)
I built Mandarin API, a translation Application Programming Interface that takes English and outputs traditional, simplified, and Pinyin Mandarin Chinese! I built this because I am learning Chinese and I wanted a fast way to see what some words were. I had so much fun learning Hono for this project and gaining valuable TS experience.
I shipped kind of early and the web demo sucks but I have too many projects so I needed to clear my plate :)
Today and yesterday I worked on adding new endpoints and generally updating the fixing the API, I added API keys, CORS, and other forms of validation including rate limiting. The next step will be building a webpage to generate and manage API keys.

Hello World! This is Mandarin API’s first devlog, I kind of forgot how to start these lol!
This is going to be a TS Hono API that takes english as an input and translates it into all forms of Mandarin Chinese, this includes Traditional (Taiwan), Simplified (Main Land), and PinYin (English Speaker Readable).
I am building this tool because I love Taiwan and am working on learning Chinese so I can live there someday :)
Technical Specs:
This first version is a MVP to get things working before I implement a custom translation solution!
