Re:Show HN: Refine – A Local Alternative to Grammarly on Monday July 14, 2025 @04:49AM (#44557780)
Wonderful! I've given it a go, works in Apple's Notes app, but it does not seem to trigger suggestions in Chrome, Firefox or Slack. It does however highlight misspellings there. Any idea what can I do to enable suggestions there? I was looking for a product like this.
Thanks for point it out. I meant physics, not science :)
It basically invalidates modern science in the same way Einstein invalidated Newtonian physics. It would mean we have pretty good approximation on how things work, but we are fundamentally wrong. So it would be an exciting time to be a physicist, as it would force us to rethink how things really are from atoms, to stars and the beginning of the universe.

EU have enough influence to do to IPV6 what it did to USB in iPhones.

Stupid question: is this yearly or monthly salary?
Hey, can you elaborate or contact me via [email protected]? I am pondering about this issue as well and I would love to speak with you.

Thank you for your feedback.

We thought that it would be best if you test it with your own file. In that case we need to send you link to analytics in case you want to remove pdf from our servers.

Your suggestion seems to have potential to considerably lower friction. We will look into it, thanks.

Our tracking feature is a kind of a website analytics tool tailored for PDF usage. When interacting with companies you can safely assume that you are being tracked and analysed. We are adding another layer that gives companies additional information, potentially making your life a little bit easier. Of course one can argue it can be misused. We have tried to mitigate it by branding PDF viewer and being open about it.

Thank you :) We have never intended to show adds. In our opinion it could be counterproductive in the long term. Our monetization strategy assumes having free pdf sharing to spread the word and paying enterprise customers to pay the bills. Yet it is about to be tested.
