Why This
I'm a terminal person tired of pulling out a dict app or browser, inputting words in the search bar, hitting the search button and waiting the result to render with a bunch of unnecessary static files coming along. Not only time taken is long, but also switching apps back and forth is annoying. So I wrote this console application with features to my satisfaction.
Feature Highlights
- EASY: Only one positional argument, which can be a word, or a phrase of multiple words.
- FAST: It usually takes 0.5 ~ 3 secs including the time for webpage fetching, depending on your network speed.
- NEAT: No unnecessary info, like ads, quizzes, pics, etc.
- DIRECT: Only the first dictionary that Cambridge Organization displays on its website without too many similar dictionaries making people dizzy as the website does.
- CONSIDERATE. If not found, a list of related word suggestions will be displayed.
