DeutschDB: German dictionary with YouTube native pronunciation

Hi all! I would like to ask for a review of my German dictionary client-server project. I was not satisfied with the features offered by existing resources:

  • Lack of translations for both words and their examples with German prepositions.

  • Absence of compound words in databases, which are very common in German.

  • Other sites use AI-generated audio pronunciation. I chose to show YouTube videos with timestamp with native speakers instead.

  • And some other reasons.

The server can be deployed locally, and the interface is accessible via browser. It can be used from a mobile phone, though it is not yet fully adapted for it.

Currently, only Ukrainian translations are available. I faced difficulties with a small number of correctly translated words. This issue was solved by using the Gemini API to generate translations with usage examples. :+1:

Full README with the web interface and usage examples:

Thanks. Have a nice day. :blush:
