Transparent GoldenDict/ColorDict replacement (compatible action API?) #96

Closed eugene-bright closed 4 years ago

eugene-bright commented 4 years ago

Some time ago there was a good app GoldenDict (RIP). It was designed as a replacement for ColorDict, another good dictionary manager app.

Other market apps were tightly integrated with the ColorDict at the moment of GoldenDict release. So the later one choose to mimic ColorDict's API to replace it seamlessly.

Is it possible to make Aard to implement this API to replace GoldenDict in the same way?

It already implements ColorDict's search intent. Looks like the rest of the API relates to dictionary pop-up properties and are irrelevant for aard2 since it doesn't implement pop-up mode (and no plans to).
