Linguin has an API now. Whole dictionary, callable, 120+ languages. Big one for me.

Entry badge used to show your app language, not the word's. Fixed it, look up a Spanish word and it says Spanish now. Way more of a rewrite than it should've been.

Got rid of regional pronunciations to clean up UI. Now it's a single clear IPA, the common one. Weirdly satisfying to look at. https://t.co/aP4v7BJdHP

Linguin Articles has an RSS feed now. Yes, like the news one. Old school, still works.
Point an AI agent at it, wire it to Claude over MCP, or drop it in Zapier.

Fixed a bug: switch a word into your language and the whole entry follows, but the FAQ stayed stuck in English. Done.

Know that feeling? The meaning is right there, the word won't come. Tip of the tongue.
Linguin can help with that.

Try something like: "the day after tomorrow, one word, german". Linguin will give you übermorgen
It's called reverse dictionary.

Well, I thought what a hell, and now Linguin tracks down everything that it can find.
Brands, memes, whatever popped up this morning.

Linguin News has an RSS feed now. Old school, I know. But it just works.

Feed it to AI agent, hook it to Claude over MCP, or throw it in Zapier.

The search box on Linguin lives on every page now. Better UI, some mobile fix.

Killed the homepage slideshow. Linguin opens straight into the dictionary now, with what people are looking up right now sitting right there. Fanum tax. Ohio. Canon event. Tap one, you're already reading.

[Alexander @theastroscout]

Only have the idea, not the word? Describe it. "a sneaky little trick to get your way" comes back ploy.
Or Type run in Spanish and you get correr.

Linguin now has a smart search that doesn't need you to be right. Type a typo, half a definition, or a word you only half remember, Linguin figures out what you meant. Reverse Dictionary.

[Alexander @theastroscout]

I added an index to Linguin, so you can browse it A to Z instead of only searching.

For when you don't have the word yet and just want to look around.

I moved the heavy lifting off the critical path, so Linguin now opens a bit faster.

Nothing changed visually. It's just the right thing to do.
