Listing positioning

A lightweight, open-source dictionary utility that relies on Wikipedia for broad language coverage but faces challenges with reliability and UI intuitiveness.

Review-backed pain points

Users report the extension failing to function entirely, settings (such as language changes) not saving, and Wikipedia-sourced results being unhelpful due to prioritizing etymology over clear definitions.

Observed feature gaps

Users expressed a need for more structured definitions for non-English languages and a more intuitive interface for managing settings.
