  I guess they harvested enough user data by now and don’t need to give it away for free anymore, well it had some uses but not enough for me to pay for

  After reading this, I installed the local server and just routed the extension there. Took less than 20 min.

  My only concern is the desktop app has no server selection setting.

      Just checked, and it’s nice to use. Too bad it only supports english for now, but still a good alternative.

  People her don’t seem to understand that this is only for the browser extension, you can still use the site directly…

  Ooof. I think it’s a pretty useful tool, but not worth anything close to what they’re asking for a paid subscription.

  I really wish there was one better than Gramerly and now this….

    Well, Harper’s a thing, for English.

  And now everyone who is salty about it repeats: If you don’t pay for it you are the product.

  Tbh, their product is much better than the alternatives, especially for non English cases and we selfhost it anyway for aged now. Which works perfectly well and remains free and open - source.

  Tbh as long as the libreoffice extraction stays free then no problem imo.

  Worth paying for. Honestly guys selhost for yourself and family contribute to project you depend on, and pay for everything else you don’t have the time to do that too.

  Its free as in freedom, not free as in beer. Their still FOSS even so this isn’t even a rug pull imho

  Well, Since their alternative Quillbot does not support Firefox. I might switch to Grammarly
