Requires manually loading the unpacked extension in Chrome developer mode and pasting an auth token into the settings.
This project is a browser extension for Google Chrome that helps you build a personal vocabulary list. Whenever you come across an interesting or unfamiliar word while reading online, you can save it to your MemWorld account with a quick right-click. Using it is straightforward. Once installed, you simply highlight any word on a webpage, right-click to open the context menu, and select the "Add to MemWorld" option. The extension then takes that word and sends it directly to your connected MemWorld account, where you can presumably review and study it later. This workflow makes it easy to capture new vocabulary in the moment without interrupting your reading flow. The tool is designed for language learners, avid readers, or anyone looking to expand their vocabulary. Instead of manually copying and pasting words into a separate document or app, you can collect them instantly as you browse. It is particularly useful for people who regularly read articles or books online in a foreign language they are actively studying. Setting it up requires a bit of manual work, as it is not currently available as a one-click install from the official Chrome Web Store. You need to download the project's files to your computer, load them into Chrome's developer tools, and connect the extension to your account by pasting an authentication token into the settings. The documentation does not go into detail about the underlying code, but it is built with standard web technologies and clearly acts as a lightweight bridge between your browser and the MemWorld platform.
A Chrome browser extension that lets you save unfamiliar words from any webpage to your MemWorld vocabulary list with a right-click, so you can review and study them later.
