A better markdown editor than the one that ships with Filament.

    // with the addition of some new methods
    ->hasLanguageAssistance(),
```

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

> Why build this?

I wanted to build a writing platform. I love Filament, but none of the fields had the functionality I use other apps for. It started as me wanting to make Filament's MarkdownEditor able to point out needlessly complex sentences and poor wording.

> Why not contribute those improvements to Filament?

I tried, but they're understandably hesitant to take on the maintenance burden.

> Why is it better?

For a start, it does what Hemingway does; but better.

Here's what I am planning to add in the near future (while procrastinating writing projects):

- fullscreen mode
- opt-in LLM-based error correction (with loads of caveats and apprehension)
- an upgrade to CodeMirror 6

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```
