Description

We could have a mode which helps people write better by rating the readability of their text. This mostly applies if you work on blog posts or essays. I’m imagining something similar to https://hemingwayapp.com, https://www.grammarly.com/, https://quillbot.com/, https://prowritingaid.com/ – etc.

In write mode:
hemingway-writemode

In edit mode (as in "being the Editor"):
hemingway

Research direction

The issue names write mode and edit mode but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing how those editor modes are implemented and how text is represented, then define the readability metrics, feedback UI, and completion criteria before implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
