I built a dictionary app even with more than and300 apps available at AppStore
I saw a few posts discuss using the Wiktionary dump directly vs. the freeDictionary API, which is difficult to do because the raw wiki text isn't immediately usable. I actually created and open sourced a project several years ago that I never publicized that lexes and parses the Wiktionary dump:
https://github.com/vthommeret/glossterm
Specifically it can understand and execute 21 different wiki text templates (e.g. "cog", "borrow", "gloss", "prefix", "qualifier”), e.g. {{inh|es|la|gelātus}}:
https://github.com/vthommeret/glossterm/tree/master/lib/tpl
And eventually parse it into this structure, which has a list of all definitions (distinguished into nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, etc...), etymology, links, and descendants for a given word:
https://github.com/vthommeret/glossterm/blob/master/lib/gt/p...
Further parts of the pipeline turned different relationships into edges that I could stick into a graph database and do certain graph queries. This allowed me to do certain queries like find French, Spanish, and English words that share a Latin root.
I ended up parallelizing this specific query using Apache Beam and then dumping the results into Firestore so they could be queried via a web app. Here's an example for the Spanish word: helado
https://cognate.app/words/es/helado
Under the "Cognates" section, it knows that it comes from the Latin root "gelatus" from which English has borrowed the word "gelato".
I originally started this project when I was learning Spanish. If you just look up the definition of helado (ice cream) it doesn't necessarily help you learn it. But I found that if I could relate it to languages I already knew (e.g. English and French), it was easier to remember. In this case helado is related to gelato, but you won't find that in e.g. Google Translate or SpanishDict.
Ultimately, I found that while the Wiktionary data is amazing, it’s also a bit of a quagmire for finding cognates. I would miss certain etymologies where you had to follow a descendant tree 2 or 3 levels deep. Or a definition would just mention a word it was related to. But if I expanded the query to include these instances, then it significantly increased the amount of non-cognates that showed up in the results.
So I created a useful set of tools (which I never wrote about until now), but I realized the end result of a web UI that showed the relationships between words would require a significant investment in data quality that likely wasn’t possible without changing Wiktionary itself / community investment.

Notes on Emacs Org Mode
Sorry, but _what exactly_ «it seems to do» from your point of view?
My «second brain» now is almost 300Mb of text, pictures, sound files, PDF and other stuff. As I already mentioned, it contains tables, mathematical formulae, sheet music, cross-references, code samples, UML diagrams and graphs in Graphviz format. It is versioned, indexed by local search engine, analyzed by AI assistant and shared between many computers and mobile devices. And (last but not least) it works: it allows me to solve my tasks way more faster than with the assistant of external, non-personalized tools (like ChatGPT, StackExchange or Google).
I know no tools for all this tasks except org-mode. Well, maybe Evernote in the 2010-s was something similar — but with less features, with more bugs and with worse interface.
Personal note-taking _is_ a complex task per se (well, at least for someone like typical HN visitor). I've seen many note-taking tools, that were ridiculously featureless, stupid and inconvenient because they were _not_ complex enough.
> Sure if one wants to do emacs-gardening it is fine.
1)You can use org-mode outside Emacs. See for example Logseq (https://logseq.com/), organice (https://organice.200ok.ch/) or EasyOrg.
2)Org-mode works in Emacs out of the box, you don't need any «emacs-gardening» to use org-mode.
3)The term «Emacs-gardening» itself sound a bit like hate-speech for me. The complexity of Emacs customization is overrated, mostly due to opinions of people who never used Emacs or used it in the previous millennium.

Orgmode is amazing
organice is a more active fork of org-web that can also sync with GitLab or WebDAV. I'm currently syncing it with my personal Nextcloud server.

Should I use Vscode org mode or emacs org mode
If you just need the basic syntax highlighting provided by the VS Code plugin then use that. If you want the full power of org mode then go with Emacs. If you want something in between then maybe EasyOrg https://easyorgmode.com/ or Organice https://github.com/200ok-ch/organice will do.

Org-Mode suggestions for tablets/mobile devices
You could try “organice”: https://github.com/200ok-ch/organice , it runs on any browser including Mobile Safari, so it should work on iPads. I haven’t tried it on Android nor Android-based tablets. It does work on iPhone.
