Great writing style on the README. It’s always nice when a corporate tool has docs that were obviously written by people who are having fun at their jobs.

Thanks! Wrote it loooong before it was a corporate tool and was only a labor of love. Now it's both

I guess I was a bit direct but I don't fully understand the down vote. I was not implying that the README was bad and it does have corrections that would improve it. My reason for not raising a PR is some repo owners don't care and I really didn't want to go through the effort unless they actually care.

The downvotes were probably because the comment felt like an ad for your tool

Also, FYI, the majority of "errors" found by your tool are not actually errors.

This, and nobody asked, and it was irrelevant to the comment thread.

Yes I agree if the prompt that was used was less strict with regards to verb tense, prepositions and so forth. I wrote this prompt for use for technical writing, which may not fit the style of the author.

Expect to be able to try it by the end of this month if I am lucky. It will be a simple one line docker pull command or if you want to install it, use npm.
