  1. languagetool

    Style and Grammar Checker for 25+ Languages

    >https://languagetool.org for sure. Europe-based, can host your own server. Plus, it's the only one that doesn't seem to eat my Mac's battery.

    >Some (might be all, actually?) parts are open source as well.

    I was pretty impressed with languagetool and set up my own server (as I'm not interested in sharing with random strangers).

    I used it for a while (local server, Firefox addon), but haven't used it for a while.

    Yesterday I noted that the Firefox addon was chewing a goodly portion of CPU (perhaps because the local server is down?).

    As such, I removed the addon and won't be going back -- not because languagetool is bad, it works quite well actually -- but because it didn't add enough value to me (note that only applies to me) to make the CPU load worthwhile.

    That said, I heartily recommend self-hosted implementations of languagetool!

  2. InfluxDB

  3. docker-languagetool

    Dockerfile for LanguageTool server - configurable

    For developers who already have Docker running on their machine. I can strongly recommend running it locally with e.g. Docker Compose.

    Safes effort with maintaining an installation and keeping the background process running. Plus, it also works when network connectivity drops.
