Show HN: Carefulwords.com, a more inspiring (and faster) thesaurus
I've spent a fair amount of time researching all of the existing online options and the Collins English Thesaurus is by far one of the best:
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english-thes...
They also still offer a generous free-tier for their API, unlike Oxford, which discontinued its free-tier after introducing version 2 of their API.
When I find some more free time, I plan to modify the org-mode emacs package for the Merriam-Webster's thesaurus to use the Collins API:
https://github.com/agzam/mw-thesaurus.el
Carefulwords.com looks nice and improves on existing website-based thesauri in terms of usability, but for many writers, having the thesaurus built into their writing tool (e.g., emacs) is a far more efficient option.

I have made two dictionaries for looking up words based on mw-thesaurus.el. I am not a Elisp pro, so this package is not perfect. Let me know how you think about this and any suggestions on improving.

Yeah, that's Solarized Dark using https://github.com/alphapapa/org-html-theme-darksun. Looking at your site, I'm thinking that I ought to do a Solarized Light version too. The handbook is also viewable on GitHub, which may be more readable in some ways: https://github.com/alphapapa/emacs-package-dev-handbook

The Emacs Lisp book is finished
I checked the book's TOC and was surprised to see that lexical scoping was introduced in the last chapter.
