Build Dictionaries for Any Language

In plain words

Build Dictionaries for Any Language is a tool for creating custom dictionaries in any language. Launched in 2022, it allows users to compile and organize vocabulary for languages they want to learn or document. The platform is designed for language learners, educators, and anyone interested in building reference materials for linguistic study or preservation. It stands out by supporting any language rather than limiting users to a predefined set.

dictpress is a free and open source, single binary webserver application for building and publishing fast, searchable dictionaries for any language. DictPress is language agnostic and has no concept of language semantics. It stores all data in an SQLite database file in just two tables entries and relations . To make a universal dictionary interface possible, it treats all dictionary entries as UTF-8 strings that can be searched with SQLite's fulltext capabilities on tokens alongside them. The tokens that encode and make the entries searchable can be anything—simple stemmed words or phonetic hashes like Metaphone. DictPress bundles a Snowball stemming algorithm library which supports…from dict.press

  Personalized Duolingo (kind of) for vocabulary building2025 · github.com · ▲161

  Hi! Wanted to share the project I really wanted to have. TLDR; this app lets you create your own list of words and you get a Duolingo-like experience (kind of, still needs a lot of features) practicing those words in their context. My English is not the best but not the worst either. But I realized I can't boost it up after a certain level! In my belief, in order to truly learn a language, you need to be exposed to that language often. Vocabulary is the key factor here if you really want to improve in any language. My experience is that when I read a book to improve my English vocabulary, I…

  A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released▲1,157

  I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
