I built a free app to help prepare for the french naturalization/citizenship interview and civic exam

If you're going through the naturalization process, I built an app called Rextory to help prepare for the interview and civic exam. 400+ questions covering Republic, history, culture, geography, Europe, and current events.

I made it because the existing tools were either clunky, required sign-ups, or were paywalled. This one is free, works offline, no account needed.

Available on Android, iOS coming soon.

Would appreciate feedback from anyone who's been through the interview recently. And if you know anyone preparing for naturalization or citizenship, feel free to share it with them.

Came across this app called Rextory while looking for French naturalization prep material. It's basically 400+ quiz questions in French about the Republic, history, culture, geography, and current events.

Not really designed as a language learning tool but the questions are all in French and the topics are interesting enough that it works well for reading practice. Way more engaging than random Duolingo exercises when you want real content.

Works offline, no sign up needed.

Hey everyone,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2013 Lexus IS 300h in the Executive trim, and I'd love to get the community's opinion before making it final. The car has 168,000 km (about 104k miles) and the seller is asking €16,490 (dropped from his initial €18,000 asking price).

I've been chatting with the seller, and he is a massive enthusiast and incredibly transparent. Here is the breakdown of the situation:

✅ The (Huge) Pros:

The Warranty: The hybrid battery was recently reconditioned and is under warranty until November 2026. That takes a huge weight off my shoulders regarding the powertrain.

The Features: Mark Levinson audio, and he installed a high-quality wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto module (super smooth, boots in under 10 seconds).

The "Enthusiast" Mods: 2-year ceramic coating, complete sound deadening in all 4 doors and the trunk, plus ambient lighting.

The Maintenance: The car is exclusively serviced at a highly reputable independent JDM specialist shop here in France. He just did a massive service: transmission and differential fluid change, new spark plugs, new front rotors and brake pads, brake fluid flush, all filters, and 4 new OEM Lexus TPMS sensors.

❌ The Catch and Upcoming Costs:

The Bodywork: The price drop is due to a hit-and-run. A motorcycle scraped the rear bumper and the rear quarter panel. It is purely cosmetic, but the flaw is there.

Normal Wear: He was very honest and warned me that the mechanical water pump will probably need replacing around 200k - 220k km, and a standard oil change is due in 7,000 km.

My question for you:

At €16,490, knowing the drivetrain history is absolutely surgical and the hybrid battery is covered, would you jump on this despite the cosmetic scrape? Is there any other blind spot or common issue I should be checking on this specific model/year before handing over the cash?

Thanks in advance for your input!
