last night I started watching a series in german, which I'm learning, but found that there are too many words I don't know the meaning of, and that's terrible becouse I think movies are the beast way to learn a language and it is really frustrating to stop and translate every dialog.
So i made a web app to check out all the words of a certein episode in advance, that's how it works: you paste the transcript of the episode, or whatever text you like, and the app wil give you a list of words ranked by frequency in the text. Then you can check the words you looked up and download an "ignore" file, so next time you'll do it you will be able to upload said file and the app will exclude every word you already know. Some words which are similar but not equal to those on the ignore will be listed apart (to handle conjugation) and words shorter that 4 characters will not be counted (there was too much pollution).
If you are not a developer don't worry, there are steps on how to run the application on your pc. If you do are a dev feel free do fork and make pull request, i will accept any good proposition. In both cases, any advice on features/bugs are welcome!
I'm sorry if it's not perfect but it was made around 2am in a night.
