License and adding to Go packages?

Currently trying to unofficially package this for my distro but i am unable to directly install this via go.

no required module provides package github.com/BetaPictoris/dict; to add it:
        go get github.com/BetaPictoris/dict

go: downloading github.com/BetaPictoris/dict v1.0.0
go: github.com/BetaPictoris/dict@latest: module github.com/BetaPictoris/dict@latest found (v1.0.0), but does not contain package github.com/BetaPictoris/dict

Use a dictd backend

Add the ability to use dictd, instead of the remote API.

Add built in spell check

Add spell check to Dictionary CLI, either after failing to find a matching word or as a separate argument.

Docs promote partial updates on Arch

https://github.com/BetaPictoris/dict/blob/dev/docs/readme.md#L28

Partial updates are highly discouraged on Arch, it would be great if you could update the documentation to instead use -Syu options.

There's one more instance of this same issue with a command using paru.

Default colors

Can the default colors be changed? Showing the results in white text ignores all the people who work with a white background terminal. I would love to see them changed so that a) the title of the entry does not have a colored background, only colored text, and b) the result list is in a native color (colorless).

If this is not an acceptable request, perhaps an environment variable or option flag to allow for user customization?

In addition - although a separate (but related) issue - when redirecting output to a file, it is a common practice to remove colors.
