Problem Statement

Requiring third party software to use a dictionary

Proposed Solution

Automated Mac .dictionary builds in every release

Alternative Solutions

Manually convert each release. I've done this, but it was suggested to ask for official support.

User Value

Less barrier to entry. Native integration is almost always more user friendly. More usability options means more people will use it.

Implementation Ideas (optional)

Build with GH Actions, add to each monthly release.

Eg: convert one of the existing files (ie .txt) to the appropriate XML format. Might need to add a minimal .css file and a .plist too. Use Apples Dictionary Development Kit (part of xcode cli tools) to convert that to .dictionary.
