Where's smalldict?
In the docs it references smalldict. Wondering where that is.
Smalldict is just a json file with {}.
It's a template for a new dictionary.

Got it. I thought it might be something more exciting like a bare-bones dictionary with just the main letters and sounds.
Yeah, I don't know if there's a dictionary like that. I think it's just best to have the full repertoire at your disposal and just use the lessons as a guide to go step-by-step. But to create a new dictionary, all you have to do is touch a new file and contents should just be {}. Save, point Plover to it, and new entries should save without a hitch!
