Show HN: Carefulwords.com, a more inspiring (and faster) thesaurus
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2023

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:

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.
