Description
The Trigedasleng Dictionary is an open source and community driven dictionary dedicated to constructed language used by the The 100 TV series.
In early 2020, the maintainers were looking for help with the project and I volunteered to update their existing codebase to utilize Laravel and create a seeding system to import the existing data. I refactored the backend code, restructured the database, moved the existing layout to Blade, and extended the existing REST APIs.
After I completed the backend refactor, other contributors refactored the blade templates to instead have a React frontend. This completed the primary effort to modernize the codebase and there had been discussion about adding additional features. The cancellation of the prequel series and the end of the original series resulted in a decline in interest and the project was put on hold.
