🎉 Hi everyone, I hope you're having an amazing week!

Great news—Dictionariez v5.4.0 is out, and it comes with a brand-new feature that I'm personally loving: "Help Me Refine", which utilizes AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. 🤖✨

AI is everywhere these days, and instead of just using it to look up word meanings, I’ve found something even more exciting—it can help refine my writing! 📝💡 Before I send a tweet on BlueSky, write an email, or draft documentation for my projects, I always ask ChatGPT to polish my text. It's become a go-to tool for me!

That’s why I decided to build this feature into Dictionariez as a first prototype. 🛠️ Here’s how it works:

✅ Type your text in a web editor (like on BlueSky)
✅ Select your text
✅ Click the Dictionariez icon (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X by default)
✅ Let the AI tool refine your message instantly! ✨

It’s amazing how helpful AI tools like ChatGPT can be in this situation! 🔥

This feature works seamlessly on GitHub, Gmail, BlueSky, and even within our Programming & Language community. 🌍 I hope it will work across all web editors, everywhere!

💬 Give it a try and let me know what you think! Your feedback will help make this feature even better. 🚀😊

Dear Netizens and Web Novel Enthusiasts,

I’m excited to announce that PNL Reader is finally here! After a week of development sprint, it just hits the first milestone, and I’m already using it to read a novel myself. It’s a browser extension designed to make your reading experience smoother, more enjoyable, and relaxing. Whether you're diving into articles, novels, or any other web content, PNL Reader has your back with its simple yet elegant features.

This all started from a thread discussing the frustration many face when looking for a no-nonsense, simple reader mode that also plays nice with Dictionariez and respects privacy. So, I decided to create my own solution. Keep in mind this is the first version, so please be patient if you encounter any bugs.

Here’s a quick rundown of the features based on my own experience as an novel reader online:

Key Features

Dictionariez Compatibility
Instantly look up any word on a webpage by simply clicking on it. PNL Reader is fully compatible with Dictionariez for seamless word lookup.

Privacy-First Approach
Your privacy is a priority. PNL Reader only requires the ActiveTab permission to enable reader mode on the current webpage you’re on, with no additional host permissions required.

Dark & Light Mode
Switch between dark and light modes depending on your preference, so you can reduce eye strain and read comfortably at any time of day.

Navigation Shortcuts
Easily navigate through your favorite web novel websites, like Scribble and RoyalRoad, using convenient keyboard shortcuts for next and previous pages.

Open Source
Full transparency is key. PNL Reader is open source, so it’s available for anyone to review, contribute to, or scrutinize as they wish.

Your Feedback Is Important!

I would love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, and any issues you might encounter. Please reach out at the Programming N' Language Community.

As I am preparing for the second version of PNL Reader, here are a few specific areas where your feedback would be incredibly helpful:

Which websites would you like to use the reader mode on? What more themes (beyond just dark or light) would you like? Are there any additional features you’d like to see in the toolbar? In your opinion, what are the essential features every reader must have?

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to improving PNL Reader based on your valuable feedback!

Historian once called a law of history, true of every society across the ages. The adage is only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time. But for the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But here's the thing. America, if it is, let us fill the sky with the light of a brilliant brilliant billion of stars.

Let's watch it closely together.
