Plugin for Obsidian.md — Thesaurus, dictionary and more using the Datamuse API

I like it after experimenting with it but I can't give 5 stars because many of the modals used for creating templates aren't spaced correctly, so many inputs get overlayed by their labels and if there's one thing I hate, it's badly spaced formulars.
Another thing I need to note is that sometimes I can't emediately enter text into som einputs. Could be a thing with my laptop or obsidian, since I needed to restart it the first time I tried to create a template, to even be able to enter text and not paste it in. It's still didn't work every time after the restart.
But these are the only 2 things I can comlain about!
Everything else works perfectly <3
