    [$] Tools to improve English text
    Open-source developers put a lot of emphasis on quality and have created
    many tools to improve source code, such as linters and code
    formatters. Documentation, on the other hand, doesn't receive the
    attention it deserves. LWN reviewed several grammar and style-checking
    tools back in 2016. It seems like a good time to evaluate progress in this
    area.

    is everything I used to love about computers.

    It’s amazing how great computer products can be when they don’t need to
    deal with corporate bullshit, don’t have to promote a brand or to sell its
    users. Frankly, I almost ceased to believe it’s still possible. But it
    is.    "
