I'm curious about the unusual in-sentence double-spaces in the example paragraph. Is there a technical reason for them?
EDIT:
I see now that they are not double-spaces, but that I was being confused by the editing unit of a word and its following space. I'm impressed with how well the tool localizes where a change has been made, but I wish more common editing facilities --- especially navigation across word boundaries with the arrow keys --- could have been preserved.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for this feedback! We are an open source community, and this sounds like a great project for a hacker to pick up. I'm making a GitHub issue for it now. Thanks!

This looks great. I was definitely engaged by the home page and found it fun to read -- maybe a number-of-edits tracker on the side so you don't have to keep re-counting how many errors you've corrected?

Technical issues aside, this is really well done.
