   Readable, Quick and Easy to Use

   I've tried other proofreading programs and found them to be very limited. ProWritingAid is the only program I know of that has a built-in grammar checker. Also, the free version has a lot of features that paid versions don't have, so I highly recommend it. This program is great for students who want to improve their writing skills. It's especially helpful for those who write in other languages, because the grammar checker can help you spot errors in your translations.

   A great product to help you improve your English

   This software is great for all of my writing projects and I love that I can use it for business and personal. I recommend it for all of my clients who need proofreading and editing help. I use this software for all of my writing projects, whether I am proofing my own work or that of my clients. I can use this software to easily check my grammar, spelling, and consistency, and provide feedback. This software helps me to become a better writer!

• Ask HN: Why is HN not categorizing submitted items?

  I think they'd rather have one community rather than multiple communities oriented around different subjects. (See Reddit) I have been thinking about making a classification model for "things that might be posted to Hacker News" and was thinking about training it on https://tildes.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: How to get invites when your network is small?

  Https://tildes.net/ It was mentioned in recent HN thread on other websites that people who read HN like. But I do mean my question more broadly, not just about this particular website. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: On improving the quality of submissions (on the top/front page)

  I don’t think comments make a story more visible on HN, it’s not like https://tildes.net/ My belief actually is that visibility of posts is suppressed if they get, say, 20 comments and already have 50 votes. So if you want to be systematic about posting comments with some “tough love” go right ahead. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• I'm a microbiologist and here's what (and where) I never eat

  People on Tildes thought the author of that article was a lunatic https://tildes.net/~food/1b92/im_a_microbiologist_and_here_is_what_and_where_i_never_eat. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Sites like HN on other topics?

  I really like Tildes https://tildes.net/ which is less focused, more about everything (god I wish I could frontpage an article about sports on HN) but has a much higher ratio of discussions to links (e.g. Ask HN is a joke) I have invites. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?

  Back in 2019, I made an advanced MS Word add-in spellchecker that integrates the ProWritingAid API to spot all the errors in an interactive way where you just hover over a misspelled word or an incorrect expression and a popup shows at the mouse pointer's position where you can quickly correct the word with suggestions, or open a task pane on the right side of the active document for more advanced features.

• How to stop repeating words while writing?

  Other resources I use -- ProWritingAid, my computer built-in Dictionary (it has its own thesaurus tab) and getting a second pair of eyes. Finding a trusted beta helps so much. Source: 11 months ago

• Author Resources: Tools and Software

  ProWritingAid: Includes all the features of Hemingway, plus much much more. Grammar checking, word echo checking, style checking, passive voice monitoring, etc, etc. ProWritingAid is a really powerful piece of editing software. Honestly, a little too much for some folks, imho. If you do end up picking this one, I'd recommend choosing a few editing features to use- using too many would cut into your author voice,...
