Comment on Ask HN: Friends and I are hacking this weekend. What should we build?

Comments

How about a simple app that: 1) prompts for a word 2) returns X number of definitions (fetched from somewhere?) in a cleanly formatted manner 3) stores these definitions under your account history in a sort-able list (chronologically, part-of-speech, etc.)

Basically, a definition-fetching app that stores the definitions in a clean and aesthetic manner.

I tried making this as my first web app using the Google Dictionary API, but they disabled it just as I had something going in Flask. I keep trying to get back to making it but I've got so much to learn. Maybe I should just...... FIND A WAY. OR MAKE ONE???

I'd use it everyday, especially if it was a browser addon :)
