CLUSTER BUDDHIST-DICTIONARY-DESKTOP · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-08-23

Buddhist scripture readers

This cluster comprises applications for reading and studying Buddhist scriptures, including desktop readers, mobile apps, and dictionary tools, often with offline access, search, and multi-language support. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only 4 dated entries exist before the index start, and 5 members have no source date. Traction leaders by activity signal are Tipitaka Pali Reader, CBETA 電子佛典閱讀器2(非官方), and PocketDhamma, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
