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.

https://languagetool.org/

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.
