LanguageTool is super cool because you can run it locally! I love it because of that, alone.
I'll have to look into that. I've always liked the idea of Grammarly, but it seemed like I was basically downloading a keylogger, which seemed... unwise, lol.
Can y’all point me in the right direction on why grammarly is shady? Maybe that premium account was a bad idea, but I’ve loved it for the last few years to help me be a better writer.
I'd say mainly privacy concerns. Everything you type is sent to Grammarly servers. I'm not sure what is done with that data.
Wow, I had no idea that kind of extension existed for YT. That would a must have for! Thank you!
