I built a dictionary app even with more than and300 apps available at AppStore
Exactly and I don't know why more apps don't do this. I wonder if it's against App Store guidelines to make a dictionary app based on the built-in dictionary.
There are a lot of dictionary apps out there but as usual most developers miss the forest for the trees. I don't know why there's still not a single dictionary app that is blazing fast, use the built-in dictionary and have some common sense design choices (literally not came across a single dictionary app that doesn't enable keyboard as soon as you open it -- it's a dictionary app, why do they think I open the app?!).
Kotoba (https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba) is almost perfect but there's no way to download it from the App Store and I don't want to deal with the hassle of sideloading on iOS as a non-developer.

Is it possible to implement? - safari extension
nice, thanks for info I realized that it would be even better to somehow take information from LookUp dictionaries and save to the app but I guess it will be not possible. I did some research and found this lib: https://github.com/willhains/Kotoba it uses dictionary API somehow to translate things, maybe this would help to get definition/translation for saved vocabulary to the app but in general things gets complicated here :D in ideal I would love to have an object of key (vocabulary) - value (translation) pairs and then export it to csv from there I found out that Quizlet app have feature to import from file it would be ideal way to fast generate flash cards to learn vocabulary

Hey Hacker News!
I'm thrilled to read all the comments with ideas and improvements. I will try to answer and keep up with the thread.
Kudos to all the similar initiatives trying to solve the problems I outline in the article. It's wonderful to see a zeitgeist about dictionaries.
Who wants to jump the article and try the version I built, feel free to download the iPhone [1] or Android [2] version or run it by itself with the open source repo [3]
