Browser Extension

• Implementation PR:

Summary

This proposes the creation of a browser extension that integrates jargons.dev, enabling users to quickly search and retrieve dictionary meanings for any highlighted word on any website. This extension would offer users the convenience of checking definitions without leaving the page they are currently browsing.

Motivation

Currently, users need to visit the jargons.dev website manually to look up word definitions. This can disrupt the flow of reading or researching on other websites. A browser extension would streamline this process, making jargons.dev easily accessible across the web with just a highlight and click. By enhancing accessibility and usability, we can drive broader adoption of the dictionary and provide users with a more seamless experience.

Goal

The goal of this feature is to:

• Develop a browser extension compatible with major browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Edge) that allows users to highlight any word on a website and immediately search for its definition in jargons.dev.
• Display the word's definition from jargons.dev directly within the extension popup or sidebar.
• Ensure the extension can gracefully handle cases where a word is not found in the dictionary, possibly suggesting users contribute or request/report the missing word.
• Implement smooth integration with the jargons.dev API to fetch the word definitions efficiently.

This feature will improve the accessibility and utility of jargons.dev for users across various contexts.

L’issue non indica file del repository, test o un punto di ingresso dell’API. Inizia definendo i browser di destinazione e individuando la documentazione dell’API o l’endpoint di jargons.dev, quindi descrivi come devono essere gestiti il testo evidenziato, le definizioni, le parole mancanti e il popup o la barra laterale. Il lavoro è completato quando un’estensione funzionante può cercare le parole selezionate e visualizzare i risultati, oppure gestirli correttamente, nei browser indicati.
