Spanish has the same problem with digraphs to be taken as individual letters for collation purposes, such as ⟨ch⟩ and ⟨ll⟩. At least ⟨nn⟩ got merged into ⟨ñ⟩ some centuries ago, yay.
From the title I was expecting a web browser reskinned to use the language, but after reading the text it's more like a full-fledged dictionary. I like the idea; it could be used with other languages, too.
...also lemme get this out my throat, the orthography looks like the stuff chair addicted linguists made, with no regards to usability by the native speakers. I mean, they're even using a plethora of IPA letters. IPA is great when you want to accurately transcribe something, but awful for practical everyday usage. But at this rate the speakers are already used to it, so I guess the mess was already done.
