D-fine

A webapp to define words and phrases

How to use

• Install Redis (2.0+)
• Setup virtualenv

    virtualenv --no-site-packages ./
    . bin/active
    pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run the Webapp

    python webserver.py

Note: D-fine will work without redis, but all the data be lost on each restart.

Why I build this

Two reasons:

1. To scratch an itch I had for an easy to use definition site.
2. To play around more with Flask and virtualenv.

TODO

• Switch back to using cdnjs.com for the javascript files
• Fix the date/time
• Maybe add a fall back to a standard dictionary site
