#22Nice Work! Your https doesn't work for me because you make calls to the unsecured duckduckgo api and chrome refuses. You should use: https://api.duckduckgo.com
Now using the secure DDG. Thanks for pointing that out!

#24This is very very cool, and makes for a good demo too.
One suggestion would be to put the latest topic on top - or at least vertically near where you type.
Second being able to pick the corpus being used for matching. might make it interesting. Say IEEE or ACM, or PubMed. Might bring up interesting things that others have written that are similar, which they've not noticed before.
I can see a very good match with technical writing, publications, etc. Esp if you can pull in excerpts. This would make for much better writing for many who may not have Eng as first language.
Neat!

#27Earlier quoted context omitted.
Fixed, thanks. I guess there would need to be the ability to hide the sidebar in a more usable version. Thanks for that tip! EDIT: grammar
What if instead of a sidebar, you could get information about a word by putting your mouse over it and doing something? (does javascript let you trap rightclicks?)
Yes, it let's you trap right clicks. The event is called "contextmenu".

#28Very cool. The right hand side should auto-scroll.

#30Typing "Bayesian classification of" somehow causes the relevant content "Naive Bayes classifier" to be added repeatedly in a loop.
