It is 2025 yet all those fancy dictionary apps still can't beat this self-described "simple" app from 2011 in both speed and immediacy :02lurk:

You read some stuff, you stumble into some unknown words, you type it here and get the meaning *immediately*, so you're like "ah yeah" then go back to read your thing

It's like two or three seconds of detour at most, doesn't break your reading pace much, if at all, compared to even most fancier apps out there

The code is open and the dictionary format is documented so probably could do a modernization/reimplementation (more unfinished project yay :akkoderp: )
