ThiefMD: My Linux Markdown Quarantine Project
Like most markdown editors, we have typewriter scrolling, focus mode, and live preview. Code Blocks support syntax highlighting for a majority of languages. We also have a selection of themes and support CSS for export formatting. Some of our secret sauce includes write-good suggestions based on btford's write-good, which we ported to Vala.

Is GNU Aspell the best spell checker for emacs on macOS?
Hunspell seems popular as well. I believe it's the one used by Firefox and LibreOffice, and I think it's the system spell checker in MacOS already? 🤷♂️

Why don't common browsers use Soundex for spelling suggestions?
Almost all browsers use the Hunspell library for spell checking. You should investigate what methods it uses for stemming and suggesting corrections. How does that algorithm work for non-English languages? The main variation you will see between browsers in spelling suggestions is the base dictionary that is used.

Does anyone know how to change the dictionary that W10 pulls from? Ideally replace with Google's brain?
I don't think so. Looking at the Chromium source it appears to use Hunspell. This is an okay spell checker, but not AI based AFAIK, only "Morphological analysis, stemming and generation".

Autocorrect anything with Google as a go-to spell check
Are you familiar with Hunspell? Dictionaries are comprehensive enough to be part of different Office Suites, so I don't see them as constricted to autocorrect.
