Why This
I'm a terminal person tired of pulling out a GUI app or browser, inputting words in the search bar, hitting the search button and then waiting for the result to render with a bunch of unnecessary static files coming along. Not only is the time taken long, but also switching apps back and forth can be annoying. So I wrote this console application with features to my satisfaction.
Features
- Just
camband "the word and phrase" you want to search. - Takes 0.5 ~ 3 secs including webpage fetching, depending on the network speed. Less than 0.1 secs for the same word's second time search.
- No unnecessary info, like ads, quizzes, pics, etc.
- Fetches the first dictionary on Cambridge without similar dictionaries with similar meanings making people dizzy.
