Mac app, Cleartext, received 500+ upvotes last week. Awesome job translating this to the web, @adeekshith.
Daniel Pichel
I love the approach (and of course I also like Cleartext). But I am worried: when writing a text you might not have time to thing about better words to replace the highlights. I think a logic iteration is a word recommendation. What do you think?
Deekshith Allamaneni
@danielpichel Yeah, I agree. That would be great! But I am not sure how difficult/easy it would be to implement it. I will search if there is any freely available thesaurus database or API which we can use to get it done. I am thinking, its implementation should be similar to spelling correction auto suggest in text editors except that it suggests easier words instead of spelling correction. What do you think?
Daniel Pichel
@adeekshith Yes, you got it right. Maybe it's a bit more complicated. Even if you had an API to a thesaurus service you might need to map these to your 1,000 words. I haven't thought it through yet but I think it's possible to automate that somehow. Something like this doesn't exist at all I guess and it would be a huge differentiator for your app.
Andreas Ecker
Well done! I like the idea of keeping messages simple and easy to understand. Two ideas: - Would be nice to see the rank of the words - A nice feature would be that the user can set the number of commonly used words by themself (e.g. up to 100,000)
Deekshith Allamaneni
@picasecond_andreas Yeah, that would be nice. Will work on it this week. Thanks. :)
