In this blog post, the author, Jaden, is learning Portuguese and wants to pursue writing songs and poetry in his new language but struggles with rhyming due to linguistic theory. He uses a Python library called WiktionaryParser to turn a list of Portuguese words into an array of objects containing pronunciations and definitions, which are then used to create an Algolia index. The author configures the index settings to make it searchable and tweak some parameters for better performance. With this dataset, Jaden aims to build a frontend that will leverage Algolia's facet system to build out a rhyming logic and allow users to search through results in any language.
