This could be useful for people learning a new language. There are already plugins for getting translations of words/phrases, but if this service also stores the words I've looked up, I can go back and repeat.
Maybe I can even be quizzed on my stored words?
With device syncing, I can read and add words during the day, and then I can get quizzed on my Android phone first thing in the morning before leaving bed.
As I like learning new languages myself, I'm thinking this could be quite useful. I realize this is probably drifting a bit from your idea though.. Just thinking out aloud.
Yup, the service at its very core is a list of words you've looked up so that you can go back and repeat.
Quizzing sounds like a good way to make repeating fun, so I'll put that on my to-do list.
I conceived the idea with the vocabulary-mastery use case in mind, but as you've pointed out, it seems to fit the get-proficient-at-new-language use case quite well.
