i initially wondered why the app is called notification dictionary. when i saw the screenshots on the github page was when i gotto know about it. i tried reproducing the notification behaviour on my device but couldnt. when selecting any text, there is no "meaning" button shown in the popup that appears.

i use a miui 13 / android 12 device and the popup used everywhere appears to be native stock android implementation.

ahh the project looks abandoned......

This looks similar to https://github.com/tirkarthi/NotificationDictionary/issues/25 . Some applications implement custom UI menu on select. Can you please try with select text in Chrome to see if it works and add the app where it doesn't work?

Sometimes you need to select the triple dot button in cut copy menu on select since it will be in the overflow menu options.

nowhere can I find it.. not even in the three dot. no app whatsoever still i use this app manually each time and I'm kinda okay with that too. just was curious as to why the name 'notification' dictionary... Foss apps for lyf heh

recently i switched to brave and now i see the meaning button in the thingy.

i use miui 13 / android 12. ig the former thingy is miui's implementation of text selection which doesnt support integration of notif dict.?

"Share via" has been implemented where the word can be shared to the app for lookup. It's implemented in v0.0.23 and provides some workaround for this. https://github.com/tirkarthi/NotificationDictionary/pull/36
