Reply to comment by marr75 in [P] Look up words by their description by phraisely

Thanks for that. I'll work on adding a query count - at the moment the count is shown in the 'Account' section.

I agree. A more explicit count can be helpful.

I edited down the flatly negative part of what I wrote above because you're engaging so sincerely to improve it. I can't imagine getting a feel for it without running a lot of queries (100 a month or 10 per hour or 1 per minute, something like this). On top of that, the job to be done here is a little suspect for me. Are there people who have a commercially viable need to get a phrase back for a description?

The 2 tests I wanted to try were 2 very specific words I can't remember. The first is one of those german multi-word combinations that means, "the problem is solved by the mere structure of the solution." I don't think that word is probably even in the dictionary based on the results I was getting and I also started to learn that it was giving me back short phrases instead of words, which was disappointing. The second word means "distribution preserving" and I didn't get a chance to test it but it's got latin roots and I'm skeptical phraisely has it in the dictionary, too.

Overall, I was hoping the technology on display would be more powerful. I guess I'd pay $1 for either of those words.

Thank you. Appreciated.

To be honset, at the moment I want to play around, have fun and try to build something that could be useful, even for a little niche of users. Commercial viability comes next, I think.

I've added 'paid plans' because, well, you get support if you ask for it :)

You are probably right; the user might need to play around a little before being confident about using it. So, the number of free queries can help with that.

I'll work on it.
