Hmm. Would you mind devoting the rest of your life to making this dictionary comprehensive, and keeping it updated?

Slightly smaller request: could you make it possible to select and copy the definitions?

View on HN

  :root body { user-select: auto; }

Slap this in a userstyle, and it'll override lines 545–546 of the stylesheet, restoring the expected behaviour.

I’ll do my best to keep it updated regularly! I’ve added the copy functionality now to each definition entry - no need for that extra step of selecting!

Well, I didn't want to copy the whole thing, I wanted to select and copy it myself, as is standard and expected. I don't want a handy search button that sends me to google, either, since I don't use google. If you keep on helping me to do things I didn't want to, I'll have a user experience.

Thanks for the feedback, this makes a lot of sense. I modified it accordingly.

Good job! What you could do is have a whole bunch of different lookup links, behind words instead of buttons, so it isn't mystery meat navigation. Like how Onelook has "Google, News, Images, Wikipedia, Reddit, BlueSky".

You may want to wholesale import The Jargon File. Badly out of date at this point, but surprisingly relevant and of more than moderate value as a historical reference.
