[sword-devel] Open source DuoLingo

[Troy A. Griffitts]

So, I spent a few hours and wrote a tiny html/css/js player for our 
current flashcards app.  The UI is stupid simple and needs aesthetic and 
function improvements.  For now, I shamelessly stole the sounds and 
colors from DuoLingo.  Anyone who wants to make new sounds to replace 
them, please submit .mp3 files for correct, wrong, finished.  I've had 
it get stuck mid-lesson occasionally and I'm trying to figure out why.
