I've been wanting to remove Lexiconga's advertisements for a while now, and I finally got a chance to do it today! The ads were essentially only there in the first place to 1) advertise my other personal projects, 2) give friends free exposure for cool things they did, and 3) to see if anyone else would be willing to help me pay for Lexiconga's hosting in exchange for exposure. Ultimately, they just ended up being an annoyance that didn't help anybody at all, which is the opposite of Lexiconga's purpose.

So I've finally just removed them wholesale.

That being said, I'm still hosting Lexiconga entirely on my own dollar, and while it's not that much of a burden for me, I would love to know that other people also like Lexiconga and want it to stay online! I know people use it and enjoy it (including myself), but I'd love to get some kind of monetary thank-you every now and again.

That sounded a little ominous... Let me say here and now in case I haven't before:

I intend to keep Lexiconga online for as long as I possibly can, hopefully indefinitely!

I make enough money from my day job to keep it online, but it would be a dream come true if Lexiconga could support its own costs from donations! It might also motivate me to work on that backlog of new features that I've been setting aside for a while now...

Anyway, if you want to donate, first of all thank you! You can do that using the "Support Lexiconga" button in the site footer on https://lexicon.ga, which will take you to LibraPay, but there are also other links on that page to other popular services (BuyMeACoffee & Ko-fi) as well.

Thanks so much for your support, and I hope you enjoy the new ad-free Lexiconga experience!

When you go to http://lexicon.ga now, you will be treated to the new Lexiconga, rewritten from the ground up! If you’ve used Lexiconga in the past, you will see a message saying that your dictionary will be migrated to the new HTTPS version of the website, and after that, you’ll be able to use Lexiconga normally again! After doing that migration, you can change any bookmarks you have to https://lexicon.ga for a nice, more secure experience!

Check out the Updates page to see everything that has changed, and please report any issues you might have to the Issues page! To get a refresher or to learn how to use Lexiconga, click the “Help” button at the bottom of the screen to open a guide on how to use Lexiconga!

And as an added bonus, after you’ve visited Lexiconga’s new version, you can visit it even if you lose internet connection—offline mode is included in this new version!
