In-Context Lexicon & Reading Retention Flashcard Engine

Bidirectional prose vocabulary anchoring, dual-action collegiate cards, and universal reader flashcard plugin

A dual-layer reading comprehension and vocabulary retention system. On Plod & Ponder, it actively anchors all 234 collegiate glossary terms directly into long-form article prose, providing bidirectional deep-linking between in-text occurrences, quoted context snippets, and the 69-concept Esoteric Lexicon. Architectural specs outline its planned expansion as a universal browser extension (Chrome/Firefox) that parses arbitrary online reading material (news articles, technical whitepapers, essays), extracts elevated collegiate vocabulary, anchors authentic real-world sentence examples, and allows readers to test and store active-recall flashcards with spaced repetition.
