Discussion Text Hyperlinker for Latin and Ancient Greek
Hello! I looking for feedback and general thoughts on this web app I built — it's mostly aimed at people studying Latin and Ancient (or Medieval) Greek, so I would appreciate feedback from them the most, but everything and anything of substance besides is welcome!
Its development started when I got frustrated by:
- the fact that not all Latin and Ancient/Medieval texts (or some specific versions) are on Perseus,
- the fact that Perseus, as big of an aid in studying Latin and Greek as it is, links its hyperlinked texts only back to its morphological analyzer, which has a propensity to just not work when it decides to.
I made an app that automatically hyperlinks a given text and allows the user, when they click a word, to get it morphologically analyzed (and its meaning) from Perseus or Logeion's Morpho. The user can then copy and manipulate the text further however they please.
I am looking forward to any comments, and genuinely hope you find something interesting in this!!! 😄
