Read Buddy - Translate & Learn

Read Buddy is an open-source, local-first, and decentralized browser extension designed for immersive bilingual web reading and spaced repetition language learning. Key Features: 1. Immersive Bilingual Reading: Seamlessly switch between side-by-side bilingual view and translation-only view. Equipped with context-aware translation to accurately interpret jargon, idioms, and polysemous terms. 2. Local-First Vocabulary & FSRS Spaced Repetition: Powered by the modern Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler (FSRS) cognitive algorithm. Offers both quick active-recall study loops in the popup and an immersive full-screen study mode (with full 1-4 keyboard shortcut scoring and card flip). 3. Private & Secure WebDAV Dual-File Sync: Supports private cloud providers such as Jianguoyun, Nextcloud, InfiniCLOUD, and Synology NAS with isolated dual-file sync (vocabulary cards and review states). Your data belongs entirely to you. 4. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) & Zero-Tracking Privacy: Configure your preferred LLM providers (OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, Claude, etc.) or local offline models via Ollama. No subscription paywalls, no mandatory user accounts, and zero tracking. 5.
