I like the idea of the app, but I'm not totally sure this kind of "review" will be very useful.
The problem is that, in some cases, you need complex sentences , passive voice or adverbs. And that means that a perfectly fine article won't be pristine.
I had a similar problem when facing syntax correctors that show a lot of warnings. Yes, they help you make less mistakes, but they also give falso positives, which can be distracting. I want to clean up and get to zero errors, after all.
So, this can reduce your writing to be "too conformant".
Man, writing is hard :_(
- chadwickthebold 13y agoI thought the same thing on first glance. However, maybe the use case for this is rather to filter entire blocks of solid color text. One complex (red) sentence every now and then is perfectly fine, but I would rather see a whole paragraph of them, say 4 or so in a row, as a problem.
- jaimebuelta 13y agoI just cannot stand having "errors" highlighted in red, so my tendency will be to feel bad for not correcting every one. It breaks my heart to see compiler warnings, even if I know that those specific ones are ok... Maybe is just me, but it will be conflicting for me, and potentially not useful...
