English Russian Dictionary for the modern web

December 2018 RussianDict launched

I finished coding and launched the product on the web at https://www.russiandict.net.

The product was also launched on various web platforms like ProductHunt, HackerNews, and Reddit.

The product did well on these social platforms and traffic started coming in.

August 4, 2018 First line of code written

bundle exec rails new russiandict -d postgresql

The above was the command I ran in my terminal on August 4th of 2019. I hired a Russian language teacher to develop the backend system of the dictionary and started writing code for the product.

There wasn't much going on at the time except me just hacking away on my laptop.

July 28, 2017 Came up with the idea

I was in Kiev, Ukraine taking a five month intensive Russian language course. I asked my Russian language teacher if there was any modern English to Russian dictionary other than Google Translate and Yandex that would give me all Russian declensions and conjugations and she recommended me a physical book...

I wrote this down as a potential project idea.
