Hey @slang800! I came across this project while trying to find JS solutions around proofreading, and was excited to find this.

I'm curious if this is still in active development in some other form, or is demo-ed at some link? Or would you recommend a different library if needing to build something similar?

Thank you for open-sourcing this!

This was a repo for reverse-engineering the web version of http://www.hemingwayapp.com/ ... Haven't kept up with it though, and the official app hasn't been released as free software.

Oh, also: take a look at https://github.com/btford/write-good and https://github.com/amperser/proselint/

Thanks for those links, I'll try to see how I can maybe integrate those tools. Proselint seems like a python only tool unfortunately :(

I was curious though - if you also managed to reverse-engineer the readability level concept from the Hemingway app?

No, I was just interested in the structure of the demo and what word-lists they were using. However, Flesch–Kincaid readability / grade level scores are pretty well-defined and easy to code.
