Ok so while we're here:

We have AI that supposedly can "compose" articles, but there are no open-source grammar-aware spellcheckers. I love modern technology.
And yes, this is one of the projects on my 1000-item todo list.

There is LanguageTool, but it's a Java monstrosity. You can at least bind it to localhost and it's only slow on startup, but takes 300MB of RAM just sitting there, exposing a REST API.
It can be integrated with Neovim, with some work.

Have you ever tried Grammarly? I see them advertise on Hulu, not sure if its any good.

They send all your texts to their servers for analysis. I don't find that acceptable from privacy standpoint, even if I'm just writing publicly visible comments.

I really appreciate that. The fact that simple spellcheck catchable errors made it into the final piece is upsetting.
I need to give my editor (aka my wife) more time with the final before pushing live.

if you're looking for spell and style checking I can recommend the hemingwayapp.com - doesn't catch everything but is pretty useful especially for non native English speakers
I can't read past this kind of error. It's a typo too far for an article that is asking me to take it seriously.
Proofreading is "proof" that the author has taken care of both their language and their ideas.
