This is such a shame. One of the most powerful features of the SDK is now exclusive to the site itself. I can see the incentive to make this decision, but it's also going to have counterproductive results for the same reason.
- goerz 3y agoYeah, Grammarly is moving in the wrong direction for me. What I’d like to see is better integration with text editors etc, especially in a plain text environment. 99% of what I write is Markdown, LaTeX, or some other markup language, which Grammarly does not deal well with at all. LanguageTool is much better in this respect, although it doesn’t find nearly as many mistakes as Grammarly
- SoftTalker 3y agoI can see something like Grammarly being quite helpful to a non-native speaker, but if English is your native language, do you still find that Grammarly improves your writing?
- carteazy 3y agoI’ve found that it does. It’s easy to forget some of the more nuanced grammar rules, or if you’re spending more time building a sentence it can be easy to lose track of things like maintaining prior tenses. It probably fulfills a slightly different use case than non-native speakers.
- goerz 3y agoAlthough I'm technically not a native speaker, I consider myself completely fluent, and a competent writer. I still find Grammarly or similar services quite useful, even if just to catch stupid "grammatical typos" that a traditional spellchecker would miss. I basically treat it like autocorrect.
