A dictionary application for articial/constructed language enthusiasts.
I’m currently not soliciting feedback on Conman’s Dictionary. This is not to say that this is a permanent state of affairs!
At this stage, Conman’s Dictionary is an app that is developed specifically for my own particular use case, and it really serves as a way for me to learn (and re-learn!) the art of sensible desktop app development. It was, for me, a way to learn Java development and various related technologies. Now, it will be a way for me to learn C# development and various technologies related to that.
Conman’s Dictionary is not, at this stage, a serious tool designed for a diverse group of users with a lot of covered use-cases and lots of user research into what kind of features the users would potentially need. Most of the development is based solely on “dang, wouldn’t it be neat if it did that” feels.
Over the years, I’ve received zero user feedback of any kind, as far as I can remember. I’m pretty sure no one actually uses the application. (But if you do, please let me know!)
So, in summary, as things stand now, I’m reluctant to get help. Hope you understand.
Oh, maybe the project will eventually hit the stage when it is functional and feels “complete”. At least, I’m hopeful it will hit that level of functionality.
Once the C# version is release-worthy, and hits the same functional threshold as the Java version had, maybe I can start cautiously advertise the fact that this thing is a thing, and consider that maybe someone would have further ideas on how to improve it.
I don’t expect this to be a major app that a lot of people use, but at very least, I hope this will serve as an example of a nice little desktop app project that anyone can pull off, with some nice documentation on what exactly went into creating it.
