The app currently supports English only, but it would be awesome to see more supported languages, like Spanish.

Idk if this app is still being developed, it seems that there hasn't been much activity since last year, but I hope this feature will be added one day.

I looked at this quite some time ago: a couple of years ago.

The biggest challenge is finding existing dictionary data (rhymes, thesaurus, definitions), that meet the following criteria:

  • High-enough quality
  • Free and open-source
  • In a structured format that is possible to parse/extract and convert to the formats used by poet assistant

For Spanish, it may be possible to use an algorithm based on spelling, for the rhymes (unlike English).

But for the thesaurus and definitions, I didn't find any dictionary data that satisfied the above criteria. I believe I looked a bit at Wiktionary, but it was not possible to extract the data and convert it.
