‘more vivid and literary’

Webster's 1913 Dictionary (github)
by Tim Cieplowski (‘New project: Webster's 1913 Dictionary website‘)

It’s a static website serving the complete text of Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary from 1913.

James Somers wrote a popular blog post about Webster’s 1913, explaining how its definitions are more vivid and literary than what you’ll find in a modern dictionary.

There already exists another site, that I sometimes use, websters1913.com, but unfortunately it has an SSL cert issue, and is not very feature-rich.

I decided to build my own version, with a few additional features...

‘every space holds a story’

Pixel Area (about )

I’ve always liked the part of the web where people build things for themselves.

A personal blog or a small site about some very specific hobby. Some are polished, most aren’t. No algorithm asked for any of them. Someone just wanted them to exist.

They’re everywhere, really. They’ve just become surprisingly hard to stumble across...

Thanks for reaching out Oleh!
