Hemingway

Hemingway also does grammar and spellchecking, much like Grammarly (see Podcast #017)

Besides having a web browser-based version, Grammarly also comes in a desktop app for Windows or Mac

How’s it different from Grammarly?

No internet needed
No web browser integration
Better price

You can publish directly to WordPress or Medium

Other web formats: publish as HTML or a Markdown document

Export to MS Word, as a text file, or as a PDF

Pro-tip: If you’re an editor/collaborator on a project, you can as a PDF with all the Hemingway highlighting intact, showing what areas should be reworked.

Price

$19.99 (that’s it! You’re buying the desktop app. No subscription needed)

Color Theory

A study in color helps us to understand the story we are trying to tell with our websites, logos or landing pages. Why does one color of a button create more clicks than another? Why do 54% of flags contain the color blue? What color is made from toxic metals? What two flags contain the color purple? Why Dominica and Nicaragua of course!
