my first extension - would love your honest feedback

Idea Validation / Need feedback

Hey everyone,

I'm a language nerd and I got tired of the loop of looking up a word, forgetting it, looking it up again. So I built Bellek, a Chrome extension that lets you highlight any word on any webpage and instantly get the definition, synonyms, and a translation. You save it with one click and it automatically captures the sentence and source URL so you remember the context.

It also works on YouTube subtitles and PDFs in the browser, which was a big one for me since I learn a lot from watching stuff.

There's a built-in study hub with flashcards, quizzes, and spaced repetition. Supports 20 languages. All data stored locally, no account needed. You can import/export CSV if you use Anki or other tools.

It's free on the Chrome Web Store. There's a premium tier but the core features are free and will stay that way.

I'm a solo dev so genuinely keen to hear what you think, what's useful, what's annoying, what's missing. I'm looking for honest feedback so please don't hold back.

I'm also happy to return the favor so please feel free to drop your extensions and I'll be sure to check them out.

Thanks a lot for your time!
