Simply Synonyms

❗ I am currently in the process of refactoring and redesigning the extension for a v1 release (see branch v1-dev). Until then, this extension will not be updated any more (except when critical bug fixes are needed). If you would like to help test a v1 release candidate when it's ready, please contact me.

A lightweight thesaurus extension for Chrome - double click any word to find synonyms, antonyms, and other useful information. Install from the Chrome Web Store.

The extension simply uses a content script that injects the popup and double-click listener into every page. The node.js API processes data from the Dictionary API (and other sources) for the extension to fetch.

Powered by the Merriam-Webster dictionary API.

Feature roadmap

Structure

  • simply-synonyms contains the source code for the extension. It uses Webpack and Babel to bundle the content scripts, popup and background script into a single file each and ensure that they are compatible with the latest versions of Chrome.

  • backend contains the Firebase functions and firestore config for the Simply Synonyms API.

  • email-templates contains MJML templates for Simply Synonyms emails. All emails are sent using Mailgun.

The website code is here.
