Abbrev Lookup

Look up an industry abbreviation, pick the sector, get the full name, a one-line gist, a description and aliases. Curated dictionary first; an AI fallback fills genuine gaps and labels itself as unverified.

Live: https://abbrev-lookup.vercel.app

Run locally

The page fetches data/<sector>.json, so it needs serving over HTTP:

python3 -m http.server 8000

then open http://localhost:8000. The AI fallback won't work this way (no function runtime) — for that, use npx vercel dev instead, which serves the static files and /api/lookup together.

Deploy

npx vercel --prod

Or push to the connected GitHub repo and Vercel deploys automatically.

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set once in Vercel's environment variables:

npx vercel env add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY production

Add a term

Edit the sector's JSON file:

{
  "abbr": "XYZ",
  "fullName": { "en": "...", "no": "..." },
  "gist":     { "en": "...", "no": "..." },
  "description": { "en": "...", "no": "..." },
  "aliases": []
}

Optional fields:

• "note" — extra context shown behind an (i) icon. Only add once checked.
• "_source" — never shown; where the definition came from. Keep it honest: "General knowledge (not independently verified)" unless you actually looked it up.

Two entries may share the same abbr — the app offers a choice by gist.

Add a sector

1. data/<id>.json
2. img/<id>.svg (viewBox 0 0 1600 640, anchored bottom)
3. A SECTORS entry in index.html (id, label, theme)
4. A SECTOR_LABELS entry in api/lookup.js
