Openly VS vale

They don't mention that can write the rules yourself and also pick and choose from existing rules from github.

There is an attempt to build and open source version of grammarly using vale rules here.

Check out Openly (https://github.com/testthedocs/Openly) -- it's a "Vale linter style that attempts to emulate some features of the commercial, and closed source, Grammarly."

Grammarly Clone in Vale

There's even a project of someone trying to simulate Grammarly, although it looks a bit dead right now: https://github.com/testthedocs/Openly

Vale is an OSS tool that you can use as a "prose linter" with many of these rules. You can also write your own rules. Together with a spellchecker its a good replacement for proprietary tools like grammarly.

> Write in US English with US grammar. (Tested in British.yml.)

heh, that was funny but it turns out the file is a list of British words checked using Vale, which I just learned existed: https://github.com/errata-ai/vale#readme (MIT)

Also, another TIL is that the "e" version of gray is British https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/doc/.vale... I had previously erroneously assumed they were just one of those quirks of English (which, I guess is still true but it is less random than I thought)

Off the top of my head, Vale and Acrolinx.

I have recently thought of feeding the suggestions from Vale (https://vale.sh/) into an LLM along with your writing. Currently I just simply ask an LLM to take what I wrote and put it into a more "active voice". I then manually edit my writing to make it more "active" if I choose -- I do not just publish LLM generated content unaltered.

Note: I did not ask an LLM for this comment.
