WARNING: This project currently relies on out-of-date libraries that may pose security risks. Do not deploy this without first updating the dependencies.
This is a web-based application for people who do a lot of reading in foreign languages, and who use Anki to efficiently review snippets of text containing unknown vocabulary. Features include:
- A plugin for Google Chrome which can be used to import snippets of text as you're reading.
- Support for bulk import of text snippets highlight using ebook readers.
- A web-based UI for looking up words in both bilingual and monolingual dictionaries.
- An Anki addon for easy export.
To try out SRS Collector, visit http://www.srscollector.com/.
To get started, you'll need Ruby 2.0, which you can install using rvm.
You will also need a .env file containing valid values for the following
credentials:
S3_BUCKET_NAME=...
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
GOOGLE_API_KEY=...
REDISTOGO_URL=redis://localhost:6379
The code will use Redis database index 0 for the site, and index 15 for the unit tests.
Once this is in place, run:
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed
rake # Run tests to make sure everything's working.
foreman start
The Chrome and Anki plugins are in the extras directory.
If you want to deploy the application to Heroku, please get in touch--there are a number of database-related parameters which are necessary to get reasonable performance.
Patches are welcome!
All pull requests should include unit tests for new Ruby code and feature
specs for new CoffeeScript code (see spec/features), and all tests must
pass. Please ask if you need help with this!
