This is really cool. Glad to see people are wanting and working for better dictionaries. I also had a similar thoughts while trying to create a Pashto dictionary a few years ago. It needs to be offline, fuzzy-search as you type, etc. But sooo many dictionaries out there work in more clumsy ways. I decided to build a PWA one from scratch using React and a LokiJS in-memory database. Later on I added a verb conjugation and phrase generation engine (big thanks to phrase structure analysis and TypeScript!)
You can see a little demo of it here - I'm planning on open sourcing the core soon.
