Overall Idea

Make a canvas for quickly browsing dictionary definitions, ability to stick found definitions (or portions of definitions) to the canvas with attributes like date, comments and links, leading to other pinned definitions. Create visual markers, highlight elements added long ago, make definitions fade away, potentially create challenges to make me guess the actual word. Create visual boundaries that group definitions together.

Subideas

• count how many times the same word has already been on a canvas, jump to other references.
  • (you immediately know that you've already looked up this word in the past)

Dictionary Module

Dictionary sources need to be transformed into an easy to search and indexed format, potentially dumped to a Graph Database (https://neo4j.com/docs/javascript-manual/current/ or similar).
