Hi everyone! I made this website: https://www.tsuginoji.com/ and would like some feedback on it. The idea is that you can highlight/select words and keep going on from there. I programmed it to graph word’s pitch accent if there are any and a majority of words have audio attached. You can also select whole sentences to search. ** If the link doesn’t work, use this link for now: https://safe-savannah-27882.herokuapp.com/
– Usage –
Highlight words and press S to define the selected word. Press D to toggle on/off auto search (highlighting automatically goes to the next page). Press F to gain focus if you scroll down and want to type something.
Infinite scroll is a feature so you can keep on scrolling!
– Limitations –
The search function is a bit weird as some uncommon words come up first, but I’ll be optimizing it throughout the week.
It’s not as smart as jisho.com where it can determine potential form/etc. This dictionary is limited so you can’t input something like 出ます and expect 出る, but some results will show up.
I seem to be getting an SSL error trying to access the site (from Firefox browser, not sure if that’s relevant):
SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP
I tried connecting http instead of https and get a different error:
“It appears that the SSL configuration used is not compatible with Cloudflare. This could happen for a several reasons, including no shared cipher suites. Additional troubleshooting information here.”
Unfortunately, since I can’t seem to access the site, so I can’t comment on how it actually works, but from the video it looks awesome!
I started getting a DNS error pretty shortly after trying it so I switched to the secondary domain you linked. So far I like it quite a bit; I like how the information I care most about it presented cleanly and directly. I didn’t have trouble finding what I was searching for. I also found it very convenient that I could just highlight and auto-search a word I didn’t understand in a definition. So far I think I’ll definitely add it to my collection of resources. One thing I would suggest is that I wish you provided some more detailed kanji information, similar to how jisho.org does. I know your main focus is pitch accent so maybe you want to stay focused, but if you provided that sort of information this could become a one-stop shop for me.
Most of the entries have [0] or [1] so I use that information to graph the pitch. AKA all of the information comes from the dictionary I’m using and I just graph it. I also made an API so other developers can easily get the pitch accent for words, but I’ll release it once my domain works
Hope I can fix it soon!
