“I really think this will help language learners with motivation. It's great that you can type in your interest, and it creates a story/article for you. Well done!”

“This is really cool! The UI is very intuitive and not annoying and the text it generated was interesting and the right level for me. This really is the first language tool I've seen in a while that's actually interesting and fresh.”

Yes — of all the North Germanic languages, Icelandic has changed least since the medieval period. The grammar (four cases, three genders, strong verb conjugations) is largely intact, and the alphabet still uses þ (thorn) and ð (eth) lost from English in the late Middle Ages. Modern Icelanders can read the 13th-century Sagas of Icelanders in the original with relatively little training.
Icelandic's Árni Magnússon Institute and the Icelandic Language Council deliberately coin Icelandic-rooted neologisms rather than borrowing: tölva 'computer' (from tala 'number' + völva 'seeress'), sjónvarp 'television' (lit. 'sight-throwing'), and þyrla 'helicopter' (from þyrla 'to whirl'). LingoBear lets you encounter these in real reading material.
