Hi!

I tried it out for a few minutes, so I'm sorry if I have overlooked something:

  • Works well in general
  • Do the colours mean anything?
  • Can you do anything with marked words? Otherwise there's no difference between marking and showing Pinyin?
  • The definitions are almost too non-intrusive (annoyingly far from where I'm reading)

Just a few quick thoughts.

You might want to find another way to show segmentation, colouring of characters is strongly associated with tones in the minds of many Chinese learners (many widely-used tools and websites use it).

Yes, that's what threw me off.

Regarding the placement of the definitions, I don't think it's a problem, really, it might even be better to have them slightly out of the way so you don't rely too much on the dictionary when reading.

Suggested function: Copy all marked words to the clipboard or otherwise export them (with pronunciation and definition).
