Is this package unmaintained? #100

This is actually a very useful package.

Sadly it seems it's no longer maintained. Is any of the forks interested in taking over this project?

The easy at which this tool does local dictionaries I have not found anywhere else.

How can we keep this package up and secure?

You're right, it is useful! Are there specific issues or pull requests that you think need attention? Most of the PRs I can see are just greenkeeper 'noise'

It's not entirely noise: https://david-dm.org/lukeapage/node-markdown-spellcheck

I am interested in using it for linting documentation for Storybook, however I do not want to introduce a package that's insecure and unmaintained you see?

It's convenient for those of us using Node projects, but there are other ways to get access to the dictionaries.

The cli tools themselves need work - the parser is easily fooled.

I don't currently want to maintain the project. If pushed, I'd probably find an alternative. My fork was for: https://github.com/lukeapage/node-markdown-spellcheck/pull/97

Hi, Sorry I seem to have missed the issues.. I am merging and replying. I'm happy to do minor things but I am unlikely to be fixing random bugs.
