This is really nice! I generally use powerthesarus.org when I'm in need of synonyms, however the slimmed-down design of this and quotes are a charming touch. The dataset also seems to be better, for want of a better word (ironically!), the output seems more sophisticated. How much if this is hand curated?
- simonsarris 4y agoI'm using the Moby Thesaurus, a public-domain thesaurus of about 30,000 terms, slightly edited by me so far. I am not crazy about this source, but it was an easier way to start. My intent is to hand-curate the most common 2,000 or more words, over time. But since I am just one person and have many projects (and two babies), I can only devote about one hour each night or less to this, once everyone else is in bed, so it will take me a little while.
- yreg 4y agoPower Thesaurus gives much better results imho. Careful Words includes a lot of results that are not synonyms at all, and just relate to the query in some way. So depends on what the user is after I guess. I'm also not a fan of the results being sorted alphabetically, it would be more useful to have them ranked. The design and simplicity is nice though.
