Description

The thousands of users of Mind The Word have suggested numerous features that would improve their experience while using this browser extension for learning languages. We would like to see these features implemented. Furthermore, we would be happy if you could eliminate a few bugs and improve the code quality in general. Porting this extension from Chrome to Firefox and Safari is also in our wish-list. A non-exhaustive lists of features is available here: https://github.com/OiWorld/MindTheWord/issues . You are also welcome and encouraged to suggest your own new features.

In your proposal, you should describe clearly which features you would like to implement, how you are planning to implement them, and how much time you expect to need for the implementation of each feature. Please write about the timeline, indicating when you are planning to implement each feature.
