Linkarzu | Neovim, macOS, Emacs, Linux, Terminals and more. He Built a Grammarly Alternative | Now WordPress.com Owns It (ft. Harper Creator Elijah Potter)
I write a lot of Markdown in Neovim, and I was looking for a tool that could understand the grammar in my document and give me suggestions and easily help me find mistakes, similar to the way Grammarly works. I found harper, Installed it, and I have been using it ever since. In this video I go over the history of Harper, a quick demo, and get to know it's author, Elijah Potter, a bit more. Harper not only works in Neovim, but it also works in Emacs, Obsidian, Zed, VScode, Helix and as a WordPress plugin
