The challenge

Build a dictionary that can grow with community input

The project was not a static glossary. It needed account-based participation, adding and editing entries, correction reports, history of changes, imported legacy data, and a usable browsing/search experience.

Enable users to contribute and correct dictionary entries.
Import and organize existing linguistic data.
Keep the interface intuitive while protecting content quality.

Original scope

What was actually delivered in this project

powarminsku.pl Goal and Challenge The goal of the powarminsku.pl project was to create a comprehensive, modern web service functioning as an interactive dictionary of the Warmian dialect. Our aim was not only to enable browsing of existing entries, but also to actively engage users in expanding the database—through registration, login, adding and editing entries, and submitting corrections.

Ensuring an intuitive interface as well as high performance and security of the system was also crucial. Scope of Implementation Registration and login – users can create accounts and actively participate in developing the dictionary’s resources. Adding and editing entries – authorized users have the ability to add new entries and make corrections to existing ones.

Every change is recorded, allowing for tracking of the edit history. Import of existing data – we ensured the import of all entries from traditional printed dictionaries, which enabled the creation of an extensive Warmian dialect database from the very beginning. Translation of entire sentences from Polish to Warmian – the new version of the application features an innovative AI-powered sentence translation tool, significantly increasing the dictionary's usability and appeal.

Availability as a PWA – the service is available as a Progressive Web App, allowing users to use it offline and install it on mobile devices and computers. Technologies The project was implemented using a modern technology stack that ensures stability, scalability, and user convenience: Frontend: React (within Next.js) – a dynamic, responsive, and intuitive user interface optimized for performance and SEO.

Backend: Next.js – also used to handle business logic, API, and user/data management on the server side. Database: PostgreSQL – efficient and secure storage of entries and user information. Hosting: VPS from webh – guaranteeing operational stability and data security. In the new version, both the frontend and backend of the application are implemented within the Next.js/React ecosystem, ensuring technological consistency, easier development, and high performance and security.
