Browser plugin.
Browser plugin that allows the user to import any text from the browser, or use popup vocabulary right there on the websites as they were in LinguaCafe's library.
I would like to help with this one. I have experience developing Chrome extensions.
Can it use vuejs/vuetify code for the interactive text and popup vocabulary box from the already existing codebase?
I haven't developed a browser plugin yet, so I don't know what are the different possible ways to do this. But this is how I thought would work:
Japanese/Chinese:
- Collect all the text on a website
- Send a request to LinguaCafe server with the text. It will return the tokenised text.
- Replace the text on the website with interactive text.
- Whenever the user modifies a word or phrase, the plugin sends an API request to LinguaCafe.
Other languages Since these texts don't have to be split up to words because they already have spaces, I think there would be a much easier way to do this, and the first 3 steps would not be necessary. We could start by not supporting Chinese/Japanese at first.
There is also a plugin called yomichan that could be looked at to figure out the best way to handle chinese/japanese texts.
What do you think? I haven't really thought this through yet.
