  • 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
