Overview

The Noah Webster Dictionary is a web application with more than 70,000 digitized definitions.

It helps users find definitions quickly and move between related terms.

The dictionary was built for scholars, educators, and theologians in the United States.

What I built

I built the search and navigation features for the dictionary.

Users can start typing a word and see suggestions immediately. Definitions also include links to related terms, synonyms, and root words.

The public pages are rendered on the server so search engines can find and index them.

Results

More than 70,000 definitions were digitized, indexed, and connected.

The website received more than 1,920 page views during its first eight months after launch, from January to August 2026.

More than 1,570 users used the dictionary during that period.
