Show HN: A Clean, Context-First Dictionary That Explains Words

Hacker News - Fri, 04/18/2025 - 1:21pm

I built a distraction-free dictionary focused on helping people learn words—not just look them up.

Most dictionaries overwhelm users with cluttered definitions, ads, or unnecessary friction. I wanted something better:

Explanations from multiple personas (a teacher, a storyteller, a slang expert)

Usage examples in academic, casual, and business contexts

Curated lists for SAT, TOEFL, and advanced learners

No ads. No tracking. Just thoughtful word learning.

AI helped generate the content, but the end experience is static and focused. I’d love to hear what you think—and what you'd want in future versions.
