After it blew up on Twitter, I decided to write a breakdown of how these posters are made and all the logic behind it.

Hey @xtreak29, that's awesome. I wish had found your repo sooner and use your wikidictionary parser tool, so good. Thanks for sharing.

I loved that you built the context menu it's something I was thinking to. Congratulations.

Yes, this is very weird. I think Apple Store is not given a proper rank because it's a new app.

You must write the full name "Wordnote Dictionary" to find it.

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]

Re:Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks? on Tuesday April 18, 2017 @10:38AM (#14139147)
In the last few years, major bookmark services closed their doors. The browsers' bookmark system tries to organize links as folders and tags — but again, it’s an old model. Chrome's bookmark system has many usability problems, the​ main one being that​ you need to click three times to save one link in a specific folder.

I proposed a new mental model using infinite history. You can see some animated examples here:

The most important thing is shipping ideas. Languages and system cannot be obstacle

Using the web with embed system allow new horizons and new people play with this. Of course, we can do applications with OpenGL but the first step can be with a universal environment like a web.

even the ugly has some beauty
GifLine is the fastest way to put GIFs in your emails. Install the chrome extension and write in any place of the gmail compose box the command line "::gif me thegifyouneed" and done!

What you thoughts about the idea of command lines in textareas in the web?
