Dear SpanishDict,

I wish this project didn't have to exist. Your dictionary is great, but your UI is a bloated mess of ads, login popups, trackers, and feature nagging. Please clean up your site. I'm trying to learn Spanish.

Saludos,

Steve

sdict

A clutter-free frontend for SpanishDict. No ads, no trackers, no JS. Just the dictionary.

Public instance

I run a public instance at https://sdict.sloria.fun.

I can't make any promises on uptime, so you should probably host your own...

Self-host with Docker

docker run --name sdict -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/sloria/sdict:latest

Or with Docker Compose:

services:
  sdict:
    image: ghcr.io/sloria/sdict:latest
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"

docker compose up

The image is tiny (~15Mb) and runs on very little resources (< 1Mb of RAM).

Environment variables

All environment variables are optional.

• PORT — Port to listen on (default: 3000)
