Have you ever feel frustrated with words? Ever tried to check a word’s definition, and find yourself shouting at the online dictionary websites for their images and ads, the 50 definitions of the same word, or the 10 separate pages to look up 10 different words? It is a huge pain to deal with words in online dictionaries. With NinjaWords, it will be different.
NinjaWords is an Ajax Online Dictionary which actually gives you a definition of the words exactly how they are typed. For instance, the word “frenzied” will give you its definition in its adjective form, while the word “frenzy” will give you its definition in its noun form. Built using Ruby on Rails, with Ninjawords, looking up a word doesn’t cause a page refresh. And it tells you it’s doing something (â€looking up [word]â€), which is reassuring when you have a slow connection like mine. You can look up many words on the same page, either one at a time or separated by commas. You can look up words by URL in case you don’t want to navigate to the page once itself, which can save some time.
Phil Crosby’s, the creator of NinjaWords, thought was exactly like ours:
Why are there no really fast ajax dictionaries out there? I don’t know, but I felt it was time to get one. I saw objectgraph’s dictionary some time ago, and I thought “this demo should be made into a full service, with a more up-to-date word lists.†So I did just that, and made a new UI, because I don’t like the UI on objectgraph’s dictionary. With objectgraph, you type into a text box and have to wait for a drop down to show you definitions. I have the tendency to hit “enter†when I want something to happen, and on my machine, if you do that in their search box they show you nothing
NinjaWords is one great application. With its simplicity and its exact lookup of words’ definitions, people will find it hard NOT to use it. Moreover, as Phil Crosby noted, simple HTTP APIs can also be added to the dictionary upon request, so you can use NinjaWord’s definitions in your app. If you’re interested in using these APIs, you can send a note HERE.
