We are excited to announce the initial release of mg version 1.0.0, a high-speed, command-line tool designed to help you improve your writing. Built in Rust for maximum performance, mg parses text files to detect and highlight common stylistic issues, helping you write with clarity and precision.
Key Features in this Release:
- Weasel Word Detection: Flags weak and ambiguous words (e.g., "many," "very," "extremely") to help you make your statements stronger.
- Passive Voice Detection: Identifies sentences written in the passive voice, encouraging a more direct and active writing style.
- Duplicate Word Check: Catches accidental word repetitions (e.g., "the the") to improve readability.
- Spelling Check: Points out common spelling mistakes to ensure your text is error-free.
- Colored Output: Uses clear and intuitive terminal colors to distinguish between different types of suggestions and errors, making them easy to spot.
