It's very pretty, but unfortunately it looks like just a wrapper for a few dictionary HTTP APIs.

It won't be replacing Dictionary.app, but it does look like a a good subject for learning Go.

I use dict with "gcide" and "moby-thesaurus".

What do you want from it beyond this?

[thisacctforreal]

Obviously local dictionary support, I'd prefer to retain the privacy of the words I use and look up.

I'd personally love that too.

Unfortunately, though, its a bit complex to even try to use the local dictionary: https://github.com/Rican7/define/issues/1

which dictionary datasource do you suggest? The OED costs money, and i'm not sure i've heard anything either way about the quality of 'free' versions, though there is the 1913 Websters...

[anilgulecha]

Wordnet is free, and used by many offline dict apps.

I think he's referencing the macOS dictionary.
