I built carefulwords.com simply because I wanted to type a word into the address bar and get a large list of synonyms and some historical quotes using the word quickly. For example:

https://carefulwords.com/solitude

https://carefulwords.com/think

etc. Also unlike thesaurus.com, the search bar actually focuses so you can just start typing!

It's not perfect, I need to do a lot of editing, but nonetheless I use it almost every time I write, now.

The site is a little over 30,000 static HTML pages built with a number of TypeScript scripts that compile some sources for synonyms, parts of speech, and the quotes.
