Hey nice project, I like it a lot. I wanted to build something similar, but since the domain vortaro.org the best place for an esperanto dictionary I might just add things to this repo if I may :)

I am thinking about something similar to this 90ish dictionary: http://kono.be/vivo/

For every word you search you can also get the article on vikipedio, the definition from PEV, Lernu and much more. A few of these things should be pretty easy to implement. Would you be interested in adding such a functionality to your dictionary?

Hey, sorry to be so slow responding, I seem to have set something in github's notification settings incorrectly and I haven't gotten a bunch of messages in the last year or so.

That sounds very useful, I'm not sure how much time I'll have, but I just got the site running again so I'll try to fit in working on it. There are a lot of old esperanto dictionaries online and I feel bad adding to the pile, but I find most of them hard to use, so I wanted to take my own stab at it. I'm glad you like it and I hope it's useful.

I'd welcome any contributions you have time to work on!

Hey thanks for the response :) I know the hustle with all the notifications on GitHub very well.

I will add this to my list and see if I find some time to implement a few of the ideas some day... At least showing a Wikipedia article in Esperanto shouldn't be so hard, there is for example the Wikipedia preview module: https://github.com/wikimedia/wikipedia-preview
