Show HN: A simple dictionary and vocab builder (Rust, Svelte, Tauri)

4 points

I love learning new words. However, I tend to forget them.

When I find a new word, I’ll look up its definition and then save it to wherever is most convenient (Obsidian, my notes app, or I just keep the tab open in Safari). Collating these sources is a nightmare. I’ve tried various flashcard tools, but none are free, easy to use, available on mobile, and support spaced repetition.

deft is the simplest app I could make to meet these goals:

  * Built-in dictionary

  * Spaced repetition

  * Completely offline

The dictionary uses wiktionary.org. The spaced repetition algorithm is fsrs, which is similar to Anki.
