Good idea!


First example is actually more of an UI issue which I will fix asap.

Filtering out or fixing (where it is feasible) the bad quality stuff (alignment-errors like your second example) is very high on my list. Of course it's less trivial to do it right.


I would love to, but it might take some time until I get to it. I actually added Portuguese and Russian just recently and I plan to stay with the current 9 languages for a little time to see if there is enough interest in this product (and maybe I can break even in server costs - I don't really have any monetization model atm, I might add a donate button though). But yeah I would love to add new languages :). Same goes for Japanese.


Could donate several dollars or provide an account on my dedicated server for free


Wow so many good suggestions. You are really cool :)


Yeah, actually it works more as a contextual dictionary now, so you can look up words or expressions and you get dialogues in which these occur (with some movie metadata as an extra). There is no functionality yet to search for dialogues in a given movie. It seems though that there is quiet a demand for such a feature, so I might add it soon. :)


The backend is in perl using the Dancer framework ( https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Dancer/bin/dancer ). The db is Postgres with Full Text Search. Everything is on AWS.


Service is responsive again :) I really didn't expect to get on the frontpage.


Thanks good idea. I see a lot of people are entering movie titles, so I could add a search by movie feature. Or just make a better UI to make the intent clear (popular searches would definitely help in that).

By the way I am in the process of resizing the DB instance, it was not really ready for this kind of traffic. :/ So I hope service will be somewhat better shortly.


Thanks for the encouragement! :)

I will definitely think about some tweaks to make it faster. I had to invalidate the cache (new version) like a week ago so the problem might at least partially solve itself. Also I might step over to some kind of document store instead of a transactional db in the future.


Search was speedy enough for me, 1 second at worst, no complaints here.
