   Love the Google Docs plugin

   Grammarly is the most useful to me for its Google Docs feature that supports me as I create new content. Unfortunately, they seem to provide more context and insights when I am sending an email rather than writing an entire document.

   I love this tool because it helps me to understand what's wrong with my writing

   I would highly recommend Grammarly for proofreading. It does a great job of catching a lot of grammar mistakes that other programs miss. You will need to be able to train it to recognise your specific writing style, but once you do it will do a better job than any human proofreader. Grammarly's ability to detect and correct grammar errors and usage issues across multiple documents is really quite impressive. I am currently using it to check over articles before submitting them to various platforms. As a copywriter and writer, it has been a godsend.

• You don't have to type faster to type faster

  If you are already using Alfred[1] (with PowerPack), then snippets are your friend. Combine this with macOS's own Text Replacement[2], can cover most needs. You add up your snippets as you go along and sync/backup it so you won't have to re-do on each install/upgrade. I also found out that it is easier to use "," as a deliminator as there is no way I will type a normal English word with a comma then a character... - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago

• Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing

  First, I have to make a personal confession — I never liked the SMS short-hand thingy that worked with pre-iPhone phones. That was one of the reason I use SMS/Text-Messages unless I really need to. I have been using text-expansion since the early days of TextExpander[1], an app that works on iOS and macOS. However good the iPhone keyboard was, it was always not convenient to type and retype details such as home... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Getting faster at plug and play motions and using templates

  There is an app called TextExpander that you can use to store frequently used text selections and then type a shortcut to have it automatically insert into any Microsoft document. It is extremely helpful for busting through routine motions or correspondence. For example, if I want my atty’s signature block, I have it set up to insert when I type /sigblock. I have whole letters and pleadings saved in there and I... Source: 11 months ago

• Tip: Use Text Snippets

  To help me save time and avoid distractions, I’ve been using prompts through the TextExpander app. These prompts are shortcuts that I’ve created to quickly add little instructions I feel I have to repeat often. For example, I’ve created a prompt to “stamp all code snippets you produce with a unique identifier,” which has made it much easier to ask GPT3 to go back and retrieve the code I’m referencing.

• Prestige-Blinded Questbridge Asian With Barebones Application Learns to Dispel His Myopia (but somehow lucks out)

  I did not have anyone read over my essays. I regret that now, knowing that my application would have cried out for joy if only there were a reader other than grammarly.com and my drowsy midnight self. I also wrote my essay a day before the Questbridge deadline (I think the deadline was Sept 27th?), which is a terrible, TERRIBLE idea. Please do not do things last minute :D. Source: 12 months ago
